Côte d’Ivoire: The Megaproject of a High-Speed Train Linking Abidjan to the North Under Study – La Nouvelle Tribune

The Ivorian government has launched feasibility studies for a 640 km high-speed rail line connecting Abidjan to Ferkessédougou, via Yamoussoukro, Bouaké, and Korhogo. Minister Souleymane Diarrassouba presented the project as a key axis of President Alassane Ouattara's fourth term. The cost is estimated at 1,000 billion FCFA, with 70% private financing. The Abidjan-Yamoussoukro journey would be reduced from 2h30 to 45 minutes.
