[Title]: The deterioration of Avenue Bypass in Kinshasa: an alarming situation which requires urgent intervention
[Introduction]
Poor road infrastructure is a major challenge in many cities around the world, and Kinshasa is no exception. One of the avenues most affected by this problem is Avenue Bypass, located between Rond-Point Ngaba and the Righini entrance. In this article, we will look at the degradation of this avenue and discuss the urgency of intervention to remedy this situation.
[Description of the current situation]
The section of Avenue Bypass connecting Rond-Point Ngaba and the Righini entrance is in an alarming state. Potholes strewn on the road, rubbish mixed with mud, emitting nauseating odors, testify to the level of degradation of this essential artery of the city. This situation has a considerable impact on road traffic, particularly for heavy goods vehicles coming and going from Matadi, who are forced to use alternative routes such as Avenues de l’Université and Parc de Virunga.
[The impact on traffic and congestion]
The rapid deterioration of Bypass Avenue has direct consequences on road traffic. Heavy trucks, forced to divert to other roads, cause traffic jams on University Avenue and Virunga Park, which were not designed to support such a load. Motorists therefore find themselves trapped in endless traffic jams, further aggravating the traffic problem in the city.
[Call for urgent rehabilitation]
Faced with this worrying situation, civil engineering experts are calling for an urgent rehabilitation of Avenue Bypass. It is essential to take concrete measures to repair potholes, clean up rubbish and improve the general condition of the roadway. Such an intervention would make it possible to restore traffic flow and avoid detours that are often long and costly for heavy goods vehicles.
[Conclusion]
The deterioration of Avenue Bypass in Kinshasa constitutes a major problem for road traffic in the city. The traffic jams resulting from this situation have an impact on the local economy, commerce and the daily lives of residents. The rehabilitation of this avenue is therefore a priority which requires urgent action by the competent authorities. It is time to invest in the maintenance and renovation of road infrastructure to ensure sustainable and harmonious development of the city of Kinshasa.
