Built in 1954, the Owen Falls Dam now Nalubaale HEP manifested as the entry and exit points of Jinja on the western side of the town, before the completion of the newly constructed Source of the Nile Bridge that was commissioned on 17th October, 2018. After a nearly 80 km journey, the outstanding structure - discharging water and the River Nile declared ones arrival into Jinja from Kampala. Until recently, after the commissioning of the new bridge, the nearly 60-year-old magnificent structure remained the single most recognizable and defining landmark in Jinja. Although still operating, the bridge is only used by motorbikes, which are not allowed to operate on the new bridge.
The dam still maintains striking sights for photos ops. The gushing waters are a sight to behold. A tour of this dam is extremely memorable.
