Multinational - Lake Chad Basin Regional Road Network Integration Project - Construction of a Bridge over the Logone between Yagoua (Cameroon) and Bongor (Chad)

The project consists of the construction of a cross-border bridge over the River Logone between the locality of Yagoua in Cameroon’s Far North Region and the riverside Bongor area in the Republic of Chad. The estimated length of the bridge is 620 m between the abutment axes, with a dual carriageway 7m wide and two sidewalks of 1.5m. Besides the construction of the bridge and access roads, there are ancillary works, consisting essentially of socio-economic facilities for the management of the bridge to be built (border post and annex buildings; signage facilities, weighing stations etc.); and enhancing the positive impacts of the project and mitigating its negative impacts. The enhancement actions concern: (i) support to the integration of canoe operators; (ii) rehabilitation of schools and health centres; (iii) rehabilitation of 2 health centres; (iv) construction of three (3) animal loading ramps; (v) providing drinking-water boreholes; (vi) irrigation facilities and (vii) equipment supply to women's associations.
