Alassane Dramane Ouattara Bridge — Local services in Le Plateau

The Alassane Ouattara Bridge in Abidjan is a true marvel. Towering 100 meters above and stretching 630 meters across Cocody Bay, it's a pioneering feat, the first of its kind in Côte d'Ivoire. I do have to say that it was overpriced!

Named after President Alassane Ouattara, this bridge isn't just a structure; it's a solution to urban mobility. The joint effort of King Mohammed VI and President Ouattara, it's a significant step towards enhancing the city's infrastructure.

Marchica Med, the Moroccan state company, played a vital role in bringing this vision to life. From preliminary studies to securing financing, their involvement was crucial.

Designed by architect Pierre Fakhoury, the bridge's innovative design includes a 108-meter pylon, a 200-meter cable-stayed section, a 250-meter viaduct, and a complex network of 19 cables. Its completion in 48 months by China Road and Bridge Corporation is impressive.

Beyond its technical aspects, the bridge is emblematic of Abidjan's growth. It's set to alleviate traffic and improve travel efficiency, making it a cornerstone of the city's development.

Inaugurated with President Ouattara present, the bridge's naming reflects his pivotal role in its realization. This landmark is more than just a structure; it signifies progress and connectivity, bringing communities closer.

In summary, although too pricey the Alassane Ouattara Bridge is an exceptional achievement that embodies engineering excellence and collaboration. It's a testament to a brighter future for Abidjan.
