King Fahd Bridge

The King Fahd Bridge (Pont Roi Fahd) of Bamako, Mali connects the older sections of the Malian capital to its broad suburbs on the south shore of the Niger River.

Both bridges connect the central city neighborhood of Commune III with Badalabougou.

The Avenue de la CDEAO passes over the King Fahd Bridge.

The next road bridge to cross the Niger river downstream of Markala is at Gao, Mali.

The Pont de l’amitié sino-malienne, a Chinese funded third road bridge, downstream on the east end of Bamako, has been completed in 2011.
