| Project Detail |
The project consists of the construction of the section T3 of the Yaoundé bypass, connecting the RN1 road at Nkozoa and the Yaoundé-Douala Highway. It involves the construction of a new 22.8 km dual carriageway highway, including 7 interchanges. Objectives Yaoundé, the administrative capital of Cameroon, is a key hub for regional transport, notably along the corridor connecting the ports of Kribi and Douala to Chad and the Central African Republic, which also serves Cameroons hinterland. This results in significant truck traffic and congestion in the city centre despite daytime travel restrictions. The Yaoundé bypass, particularly section T3, has therefore a dual purpose: first, to improve regional transport by bypassing the congestion in Yaoundé, a major bottleneck on key economic routes in Central Africa; and second, to promote a more sustainable urban development of Yaoundé by decongesting the city centre and diverting local traffic to the bypass through radial roads.
