News: The Lopa-Jina road section (Ituri) is once again passable after rehabilitation
For a week, the Lopa-Jina (Ituri) road section on national road number 27 (RN27) has been passable again. Its partial rehabilitation made it possible to evacuate several essential products which had been blocked for more than a month.
The rehabilitation work on the RN27 has had a positive impact on the prices of basic necessities in Bunia. Indeed, the price of gasoline has seen a significant drop, going from 6,000 Congolese francs to 4,250 Congolese francs per liter. This drop in prices is good news for consumers who suffered from the increase in prices during the road blockage period.
The Lopa-Jina section was particularly difficult to practice due to the large quagmires caused by the rains. For more than a month, many vehicles were blocked, making the transport of goods and passengers difficult or impossible. The work funded by the provincial government made it possible to fill in the quagmires and make the roadway passable.
The transporters are satisfied with the repair of this axis and now want a maintenance system to be put in place to preserve the efforts of the authorities. Thanks to this work, the travel time between Bunia and Mahagi, which previously was two to three days, has been reduced to just three hours. This improvement in road traffic is a relief for users.
The rehabilitation of the Lopa-Jina section is a major step forward for the Ituri region. It not only improves the mobility of people and goods, but also contributes to economic stability by promoting trade. It is essential to continue investing in road infrastructure to facilitate the development of the region and improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
In conclusion, the rehabilitation of the Lopa-Jina road section on the RN27 is good news for the population of Ituri. This improvement in road traffic helps reduce the prices of basic necessities and facilitates trade. It is important to continue investing in infrastructure to promote the development of the region and improve the daily lives of residents.
