Henri Konan Bédié Bridge, Modern toll bridge in Abidjan, Ivory Coast
The Henri Konan Bédié Bridge extends 1500 meters across the Ébrié Lagoon, connecting the northern district of Cocody with the southern district of Marcory.
Initial development plans for this infrastructure project originated in 1952, but construction only began in 2011 due to political circumstances in Ivory Coast.
The bridge takes its name from a former president of Ivory Coast and represents the commitment of the nation to infrastructure modernization.
The bridge features three lanes in each direction with 21 toll gates, reducing travel time between districts from two hours to fifteen minutes.
Engineers installed 62 support piers, each two meters wide and extending 85 meters deep into the lagoon floor to ensure structural stability.
