The vice president revealed that about 1,000 billion FCFA have been mobilized for road infrastructure in the Abidjan District. He announced that other projects will complete these developments. The metro line 1, the commissioning of the BRT and the development of lagoon transport are designed to completely simplify traffic in Greater Abidjan.
