Description

Description

The Third Highway Project will assist the Government in its efforts to improve landlocked C.A.E.'s access to the Ocean through the reconstruction of the Bangui-Bossembele section (145 km) of the road to Cameroon. The proposed project consists of the reconstruction of the Bangui-Bossembele road to two-lane bituminous sealed standard including the construction of a two-lane bridge over the M'Bali River. The benefits for C.A.E. will mainly consist of savings in vehicle operating costs, maintenance costs and distance savings. The project will also stimulate agricultural development in some populated areas by providing improved access to markets and reduced costs of supplying inputs. On the external side, the project is not only an important route for import/export traffic via Cameroon, but also a part of the Trans-African highway and of the Trans-Equatorial route serving land-locked Chad. The project therefore contributes also to the economic development of the Central African Region.
