Martyrs Bridge

Martyrs Bridge is a modern arch bridge in Bamako that spans the Niger River and connects several neighborhoods on either side. Its design features wide lanes for vehicles and separate walkways where pedestrians can cross safely.

The bridge was built in the early 2000s as part of infrastructure development in Bamako. Its name honors those who lost their lives during conflicts in the region.

The bridge serves as a memorial structure where people gather to honor those who sacrificed their lives during regional conflicts through ceremonies.

The bridge connects northern and southern neighborhoods, significantly reducing travel time between them. It is open around the clock for both vehicles and pedestrians moving across the city.

Multiple vantage points along the bridge offer clear views of the surrounding urban landscape and water, making it a reference point for navigation.
