Republic of Congo - Délégation Générale des Grands Travaux

<p>La réalisation du projet se fera en deux phases suivant le financement actuel.Il comprend des travaux routiers, des mesures de facilitation de transport et d&#39;autres activités connexes de développement. La phase1 comprend le bitumage de 144 km (Ndende-Doussala) au Gabon et 93 km (Dolisie-Kibangu) au Congo, la réhabilitation de 130 km (Kibangu-Ngongo-frontière du Gabon) et la mise en oeuvre des mesures de facilitation de transport.</p>

<p>La phase 2 comprendra le bitumage des tronçons restants entre Kibangu et Ngongo,l&#39;aménagement de la voie de contournement de la ville de pointe noire,l&#39;aménagement des ports secs de Dolisie(Congo) et de Ndende(Gabon) et la mise en oeuvre des mesures de facilitation de transport.</p>

<p>The project involves the construction of a road and rail bridge between Brazzaville in Congo and Kinshasa in DRC. Related to this project is the construction of an OSBP, as well as the construction of railway from Kinshasa to Ilebo.</p>

<p>Le projet de route Ketta-Djoum consiste en sa deuxième phase au bitumage de la section Sembe (Congo)-Mintom (Cameroun). Les travaux concernent les tronçons Sembe-Souanké-Ntam(143km) au Congo et Mintom-Lele-Ntam(90km) au Cameroun, les études et les appuis institutionnels au secteur des transports, l&#39;appui A  la facilitation du transport et du commerce, et le soutien A  la biodiversité.</p>

<p>The project includes the construction of a road and rail bridge between Brazzaville in Congo and Kinshasa in the DRC. The project also includes road and rail links in both countries as well as joint border control points (One Stop Border Posts). A border control post will be located at each end of the bridge and will house border control officers. Inspections will only be conducted on one side of the river (i.e. on the departure side). The existing road infrastructure will be extended by 10km to connect the bridge to the two cities.</p>
<p>The railway bridge will have a total length of 1 575m and 10 bays divided as follows: 2 bays of 120m, 4 bays of 152m, 2 bays of 242m and two bays of 121.5m. The profile on the other side of the road consists of two unidirectional sidewalks with two lanes of 3m. The total width of the road, including sidewalks, is 16.24 m.</p>
<p>The two large cable-stayed spans (242m and 152m), located in the river along the banks, give the bridge a gateway to the capitals. The bridge will be located in Maloukou Trechot, 6km from the city of Maluku in Congo. The site is 55km from the two capitals along the river.</p>
<p>The bridge is part of a larger project, the Kinshasa-Ilebo railway project, which aims to improve the rail network in Africa. The larger project is expected to contribute to increased regional trade and accelerate regional integration between Central and Southern Africa. The project is expected to allow for cheaper and faster river crossing by passengers and freight. The beneficiaries of the project will therefore include the two countries whose fisci will benefit from increased trade, the increased presence of domestic and foreign companies in both countries, from private transporters and the economic and social benefits of liberated movement of both populations</p>
