Until now, heavy rains have often caused flooding, leading to road closures for several days and impacting economic activities. The construction of this bridge aims to resolve these issues and contribute to Djibouti’s stable economic growth.
The Palmeraie Bridge will span 113 meters and feature six lanes, with completion expected in 2027.
