The trains will feature advanced communication-based train control (CBTC) system that will improve the train regularity and safety. Rolling stock of Abidjan metroĪlstom will provide 20 trainsets of Metropolis trains comprising five cars each for the line. The transit system will be connected to road and public transport networks such as SOTRA, STL and Citrans Aqualines. The line will share the rights-of-way currently used by the Abidjan-Ouagadougou railway line for approximately 32.5km.Ī new rail bridge will be constructed in parallel to the Felix Houphouet-Boigny (FHB) bridge, between the municipalities of Plateau and Treichville. A 22ha railway depot will also be built at the Sagbe triangle. It will include electric traction, 21 rail and road bridges, landscaping and architectural systems, and protection from noise pollution. The metro line one will contain two 1,435m standard gauge railway tracks. The total duration of the journey from Anyama centre to Aerocity will be 50 minutes.

The future Line 1 of the Abidjan metro network will be 37km-long and pass through 18 stations, linking seven municipalities in Abidjan district. Expected to start by the end of 2020, the construction of line one is conditional on land availability and finalisation of the project financing. The construction of the metro is estimated to cost €1.36bn ($1.5bn). The consortium includes Alstom, Keolis, Colas Rail and Bouygues Travaux Publics. In December 2019, a technical and financial offer submitted by Société des Transports Abidjanais sur Rail (STAR) consortium was approved by the government through a second addendum, clearing the way for construction works on line one of the metro project. The government resumed the development of the metro in November 2017. The South Korean partners withdrew from the project in October 2017. The consortium included Bouygues, Keolis, Hyundai Rotem, and Dongsan Engineering. Ivory Coast initially signed an agreement with a French-South Korean consortium for the construction of the Abidjan metro on a build, operate, and transfer basis. The project is expected to generate 2,000 jobs. The Abidjan metro will be able to carry more than 500,000 passengers a day. The urban and suburban rail transport system will connect the Anyama and Port-Bouët suburbs of Abidjan.Ībidjan will become the third African city with high-capacity urban metro upon commissioning of the system.
