Title: Transport revolution in Kinshasa: The construction of a cable car signed between the Congolese government and the Turkish firm Milvest
Introduction:
Road congestion is a major problem in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Traffic jams hamper the mobility of residents and paralyze the city. Faced with this situation, the Congolese government has decided to call on the Turkish firm Milvest to build a cable car linking two strategic stations in the city. This decision marks a real revolution in the field of transport in Kinshasa.
An ambitious project to relieve traffic congestion:
The cable car project aims to relieve traffic congestion in Kinshasa by introducing an aerial cable transport line linking the University of Kinshasa in the commune of Lemba and the Triangle station in the commune of Mont-Ngafula. With a length of 2 kilometers, the cable car will have a capacity to transport 5000 passengers daily.
The causes of road congestion in Kinshasa:
Traffic jams in Kinshasa are due to several factors. On the one hand, non-compliance with the Highway Code and the indiscipline of drivers contribute to traffic congestion. On the other hand, the dilapidated state of the roads and the lack of main and secondary roads are also exogenous causes of this problem.
Measures to improve the situation:
To address these mobility issues, the Congolese government has proposed several measures. First of all, the decongestion of traffic black spots identified across the city is a priority. Next, the layout of intersections, parking spaces and road signs must be improved. The modernization of the vehicle register, the coordination of road prevention and safety, as well as the support of innovative projects such as cable cars and aerial metros are also envisaged.
A major step forward for the mobility of Kinshasa residents:
The signing of the contract between the Congolese government and the Turkish firm Milvest marks a major step forward in the fight against road congestion in Kinshasa. The construction of the cable car will offer the inhabitants of the capital a fast, efficient and sustainable means of transport. This will therefore contribute to improving the mobility and quality of life of Kinshasa residents.
Conclusion:
The construction of a cable car in Kinshasa marks a real revolution in the field of transport in the Congolese capital. By relieving road congestion, this project will allow residents to move more easily and thus contribute to the development of the city. This initiative demonstrates the Congolese government’s desire to invest in innovative solutions to improve urban mobility
