The Abong Mbang-Bonis Road lies in the country's Eastern province and passes through areas with enormous agricultural potential. However, this gravel stretch has deteriorated considerably, with some sections becoming virtually impassable during the rainy months, hampering the transport of produce and leaving many communities isolated.
The project will pave this 103-km road with an all-weather asphalt surface. This scheme is expected to reduce vehicle-operating costs and make travel safer and more efficient, as well as enable rural communities to access social services.
