Second bridge over the Wouri in Douala, Transportation bridge in Douala, Cameroon

The Second Wouri Bridge is a concrete structure that crosses the river in Douala, carrying both railway tracks and vehicle lanes on separate levels. The bridge features passage openings designed to allow river traffic to continue flowing underneath while connecting the city across the water.

Built between 2013 and 2017, the crossing consists of two separate structures, one road and one rail. The design and construction were led by a group of Satom, Eiffel, Solétanche-Bachy and Lavigne-Cheron-Greisch. The railway bridge opened on 31 July 2017; the road bridge opened in one direction on 3 October 2017 and in both directions on 3 November. The investment came to about 109.16 billion CFA francs.

The bridge is a road and rail crossing built for Douala, Cameroon's economic capital, and its two structures entered service separately: the railway bridge on 31 July 2017, the road bridge in one direction on 3 October 2017 and in both directions on 3 November 2017. The design and construction studies were led by a consortium of Satom, Eiffel, Solétanche-Bachy and Lavigne-Cheron-Greisch.

The road and rail decks are separate structures: the railway bridge opened on 31 July 2017, the road bridge carried traffic in one direction from 3 October 2017 and both directions from 3 November. The road span is about 756 m long with nine spans, and its navigation passes measure 40 x 5.5 m above the highest water.

The bridge deck varies in height from 7.5 meters at supports to 4.6 meters mid-span, supported by concrete pillars extending 65 meters into the ground.
