Pont d'Ébebda, Road bridge in Ebebda, Cameroon
The Pont d'Ébebda is a road bridge crossing the Sanaga River in Cameroon, connecting the Center and West regions via National Route 4. It rises above the water to permit the passage of river vessels while facilitating road traffic across the waterway.
The bridge was completed in 1982 as part of a major infrastructure initiative to improve connections between Yaoundé and Bafoussam. This project represented a significant development in the region's transportation network at that time.
The bridge location near the convergence of Mbam and Sanaga rivers supports sand extraction activities, where locals collect materials using traditional methods.
The bridge is easily accessible via National Route 4 and serves as a major connecting point for several localities. Visitors should be aware that local weather conditions, particularly during rainy seasons, can affect travel conditions in the area.
Sand fishermen work in pairs from boats, using baskets to collect river sand from the riverbed before transporting their cargo to Yaounde.
