The World Bank has approved funding for the construction of a 645-metre bridge connecting Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, with the city of Zongo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Spanning the Ubangi River, the infrastructure project is designed to improve cross-border connectivity, facilitate regional trade, and lower transport costs between the two nations.
