The Lungi Bridge Project is a proposed major infrastructure project in the West African country of Sierra Leone.[1][2] The 7km long bridge will link the Lungi area to Freetown, passing over the estuary of the Sierra Leone River.
Freetown International Airport is located at Lungi. Transit between Freetown and the airport currently requires a boat journey or a road trip that can take 3 hours.
The project was announced by President Julius Maada Bio. Its projected cost was initially $2bn, making it the country's largest infrastructure project. In a state of the nation address in May 2021 the budget was reduced to $1.2bn with a claim that construction would start later in the year.[3] In December 2023 it was reported that the Government of Sierra Leone had signed a contract worth $1.5bn with the China Road and Bridge Corporation with construction expected to commence by the end of 2024.[4] The construction is expected to take 3 years to completion.
