جسر كايا قيد الإنشاء.

في مارس 2007، بدأ إنشاء ما سيصبح أطول جسر طرق يعبر الزمبيزي. The bridge over the Zambezi was officially opened on August 1, 2009, and with some controversy, was named after the current president of Mozambique, Armando Emilio Guebuza. With a length of 2376 metres and width of 16 m it will be longer than the bridges at Tete and Katima Mulilo, exceeded only by the Dona Ana Bridge, which has been restored as a rail only bridge. The anticipated bridge was crucial في ربط محافظة سفالة بمحافظة زمبزيا. The Caia bridge cost an estimated US$80 million.

Caia also has an airport with a 900-metre paved runway, and is a station on the railway from Beira via the Dona Ana Bridge to Malawi, Moatize and Tete, which was the damaged in the Mozambique Civil War and is currently being rehabilitated.
