The CPLP Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte CPLP, Tetum: Ponte CPLP) (known during the construction phase as Comoro Bridges I and II) is a pair of two-lane road bridges in the Comoro suco of Dili, capital city of East Timor.
Location
The bridge carries Avenida Presidente Nicolau Lobato across the Comoro River, 800 m (2,600 ft) north of the Hinode Bridge (Comoro Bridge III).[1]
The Avenida is the main route between central Dili and the west side of the city, including the Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport and the Tibar Bay port, which as at early 2022 was due to start operations later that year.[1][2]
