The Noefefan Bridge is a bridge over the Tono River, in Oecusse, East Timor. It was inaugurated on 10th June 2017 by the president of Timor-Leste, Francisco Guterres.[2]

The 3-arched bridge —which is 380 meters long and 20 meters high— connects Citrana, Passabe and other isolated regions west of the Tono River to the regional capital of Pante Macassar, providing them permanent access to markets, the ferry and airport, even on the rainy season (November to April).[2]
