Project details

1.3 Bn € Project cost

Context

The population growth and rapid urbanization of Abidjan require a structural mobility solution to relieve congestion on the roads and improve the living environment of the inhabitants. This project aims to facilitate the movement of 530,000 people per day, thanks to park and ride facilities and connections with buses and taxis. It will also offer an economical and sustainable solution to the disadvantaged populations of the suburbs.

This financing will ensure the development of urban transport in Ivory Coast while supporting the export of French industrial know-how.
