A large seawall was constructed around [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]] at some point, altering its coastline considerably. The northern side of the island retained more of its original width than the southern part, which was much more narrow and symmetrically bordered by the seawall. The narrow southern half housed the [[New Mombasa city center|city center]] and [[Tanaga]] districts of the city, while on the northern side, industrial structures and docks were more prevalent.<ref name="preparetodrop"/> [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|A highway]] ran along the seawall.<ref name="coastalhighway">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level [[Coastal Highway]]</ref> | A large seawall was constructed around [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]] at some point, altering its coastline considerably.

The original names are often seen in the names of streets or train stations, for example. Some of the districts' names have changed, albeit slightly; areas originally referred to as Tangana and Liwatoni are now referred to as [[Tanaga]] and [[Liwitoni Station|Liwitoni]], respectively. The locations of some districts have changed as well. This is the case with most of the districts on the southern side of the island, where the sea has claimed large areas of land.<ref>''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level [[Mombasa Streets]]</ref> | ||
A massive suspension bridge connected the northern side of the island to the mainland. Starting at some point near the city center, the highway [[New Mombasa 105 East|NM 105 E]] led over the bridge, to the old city and beyond. Near the end of the bridge on the island was New Mombasa's industrial district. This area housed many massive industrial buildings, some with sky bridges connecting them.<ref name="outskirts"/><ref name="h2">''Halo 2'', campaign level [[Metropolis]]</ref> | A massive suspension bridge connected the northern side of the island to the mainland.
