Houphouët-Boigny Bridge

The Houphouët-Boigny Bridge, completed in 1957, is a vital transportation link connecting the central business district of Le Plateau with the bustling suburb of Treichville. Named after Ivory Coast's first president, the bridge provides pedestrians and drivers with panoramic views of the Ébrié Lagoon and the city skyline. Walking across the bridge is a popular activity for visitors who want to experience daily local life and capture photos of the lagoon, fishing boats, and the distant Plateau towers.
