(Monrovia, September 2, 2025)-Liberia has taken a historic step toward modern infrastructure as President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. broke ground today for the nation’s first two overpass bridges on Tubman Boulevard, a landmark project fully funded by the People’s Republic of China. The ceremony took place at the EJS Ministerial Complex in Congo Town.

The two bridges-one near the Ministerial Complex and the other at SKD Boulevard-will be completed within 24 months. Once finished, they are expected to dramatically reduce traffic congestion, improve road safety, cut travel time, and boost business activities along one of Monrovia’s busiest corridors.

“This project will change how people travel, trade, and live,” President Boakai declared, hailing the overpasses as proof of his government’s commitment to delivering on its development promises under the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID).

The project will also create hundreds of jobs for Liberians during construction, ranging from skilled workers to small business opportunities.

President Boakai expressed profound gratitude to the People’s Republic of China for its continued partnership, describing the initiative as a “visible sign of friendship and progress.”

Despite expected short-term inconveniences from diversions and road works, the President called on citizens to remain patient, assuring them that “the result will definitely be worth it.”

When completed, the overpass bridges will stand as a first-of-its-kind milestone in Liberia’s road network, symbolizing a new era of safer, faster, and more connected transportation.
