(Business in Cameroon) - Cameroon plans to commission the first 60 kilometers of the Yaoundé-Douala highway before the AFCON2021, which will start in January 2022. This was revealed by Benoît Parfait Mbole Mbole, Head of the Infrastructures Department of the Ministry of Public Works during a field visit on April 6, 2021.
However, to fulfill its ambition, the country will have to address numerous challenges. For instance, it will have to complete the construction of the first section of the highway (according to the control mission Scet-Tunisie/Louis-Berger, the section is 98% completed).
Also, the connection facilities need to be completed to connect the first section to the Yaoundé road axis and the Nationale 3 (at Boumnyebel). Next, the country will have to build functional infrastructure (tolls, weighing stations, rest and service areas as well as emergency lanes), and sign a concession contract for the operation of this section of the highway.
