Gabon’s Swing Bridge Project Advances in Ntoum Libreville, Gabon – June 25, 2026 The construction of Gabon’s Méba swing bridge, a vital component of the Ntoum-Cocobeach road project, is progressing at a steady pace, reports the Gabonese press agency. Located in the province of Estuaire, northwestern Gabon, this infrastructure is designed to monitor vehicle tonnage, enhancing the protection of the national road network and user safety. Currently, the work focuses on the development of access routes, technical platforms, and the installation of weighing station equipment.
Upon completion, the bridge will combat the issue of overloaded trucks, a common cause of premature road deterioration.
A similar project has previously been implemented on strategic routes, including the national Route 1, where weighing stations have contributed to better traffic regulation for heavy goods vehicles. Local residents express optimism, viewing the project as a catalyst for economic activity and job creation.
The infrastructure is anticipated to be operational within the coming months, benefiting transporters and local communities.
