Cameroon - Yaoundé-Douala: the project to save National Road No. 3

On October 8, the Ministry of Public Works launched an international tender to rebuild 167 km of National Road No. 3 between Yaoundé and Edea, funded by the World Bank with 238 billion FCFA, to be completed in 30 months. This project aims to improve access for Central African Republic and Chad, but it replaces an expressway that has been under construction since 2014 and remains unfinished. The old road is being reconstructed while awaiting the completion of the long-promised highway project.
