The project will construct a 766 m-long bridge connecting Jacqueville with the city of Abidjan on the mainland to reduce the need for boat transport. Once the bridge is completed, vehicle travel time will decrease from 1.4 hours to only around one minute, raising living standards of the coastal town considerably. The bridge will help boost tourism and facilitate the trade of agricultural produce.
