Introduction :
The city of Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is booming in terms of infrastructure development. Under the impetus of President Félix Tshisekedi, many projects have been launched to improve the living conditions of the Congolese population. The Minister of Infrastructure, Alexis Gisaro, recently visited several construction sites in progress in the city, in order to see the state of progress of the work and to launch new projects.

Work sites in Lemba, Limete, Kisenso and N’sele:
Minister Alexis Gisaro began his visit with the commune of Lemba, where a section of Sefu Avenue is undergoing total rehabilitation.

Similarly, Botango Avenue in the commercial district of Lemba is undergoing construction and sanitation works, which is arousing the joy of the local population.
The minister then went to 14th rue de Limete, which connects boulevard Lumumba to the route des Poids Lourds. After a period of inactivity, this road is finally passable, thus allowing better circulation in this part of the city.
In the Bikanga district in Kisenso, the avenue de la Paix has undergone a quality modernization, offering the population an environment conducive to traffic and contributing to the enhancement of this part of Kinshasa.
Finally, in N’sele, the Minister kicked off the works of the B.A.T road, thus being part of President Tshisekedi’s vision of promoting the improvement of the living conditions of the Congolese population. The objective is to inaugurate this road within the next six months, thus incurring the vigilance of the local population to ensure that the work is carried out properly.
The impact on the population:
These ongoing projects in different districts of Kinshasa have a direct impact on the Congolese population. By improving road infrastructure, they allow better movement of people and goods, thus facilitating the economic development of the region. In addition, these construction sites create employment, thus offering opportunities to the inhabitants of the city.
