8 November Bridge

The 8 November Bridge is a road crossing over the Konkouré River that connects Conakry's central business district with other parts of the city. Its concrete structure carries daily traffic with separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians moving between different neighborhoods.

The bridge was built in the late 20th century and represented a major step forward for Guinea's transportation infrastructure. Its completion significantly improved how different parts of the capital connected to each other.

The bridge serves as a gathering point for local celebrations and community events, reflecting the social connections within the Conakry population.

Regular maintenance keeps the crossing functional for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout the year. Expect heavier traffic during peak hours when commuters move between different parts of the city.

The bridge's strategic position has made it a focal point during political events and social movements, influencing the flow of people in the capital city.
