The Nyali Bridge (specifically the New Nyali Bridge) is a concrete girder bridge [Structurae|id=s0032522|title=New Nyali Bridge] connecting the city of Mombasa on Mombasa Island to the mainland of Kenya. The bridge crosses Tudor Creek (a tidal inlet) to the north-east of the island. The bridge is one of two road links out of Mombasa (the other being the Makupa Causeway). The Likoni Ferry provides a third transport link to the island, and is situated at the southern tip. The mainland approach to the bridge serves as a police checkpoint in both directions.

The "Old Nyali Bridge" (a floating bridge) stood approximately half a mile downstream from the current crossing [ [http://wikimapia.org/5504933/Location_of_Old_Nyali_Bridge Location of Old Nyali Bridge ] ] .
