Project Description

The reconstruction of priority road network is a primary objective for the country and the reconstruction of the RN1, which is the backbone of Congolese road network, fits perfectly with this approach.

The study concerns the Kinkala-Mindouli road, a section of 60 km of the RN1.

Its origin is located at the Gambari crossroads, that is the northern exit of the city of Kinkala, and the other end is located on the western outskirts of Mindouli, crossroads for Pointe Noire and Kindamba (north).

The previous section of 60 km Brazzaville Kinkala has been carried out in 2008/2009, financed by the European Fund.

The project road will essentially aim at : linking Brazzaville to Pointe Noire, 540 km, to open up the capital to the sea by a land transport system; making agricultural products coming from the Pool region reach the capital, here it is to be highlighted that 70% of the Congolese population lives and cultivates this region which represents the granary of the country.
