The Henri Konan Bédié Bridge is a state-of-the-art cable-stayed bridge that spans the Ébrié Lagoon, linking the Plateau district with Cocody. Opened in 2014, it features a distinctive double-tower design and a total length of about 1.5 kilometers. Driving or walking across provides sweeping vistas of the lagoon and Abidjan's skyline. The bridge is not only a vital transportation link but also a symbol of the city's modern infrastructure. It's especially photogenic at sunset when the towers are illuminated.
