Why did Europeans build roads, bridges, and railways in African colonies?

They usually built transportation systems for their own use in the African colonies, to help transport Gold & other natural resources, and to bring men from one place to another.

Industrial development in Europe

depended upon a steady source of raw

materials. By building transportation

routes throughout colonial areas,

these raw materials were more easily

obtainable.
