Title: Rehabilitation of Nguma Avenue in Kinshasa: a step towards improving road infrastructure
Introduction :
The city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo has long faced a major problem: the dilapidated state of its roads. Among the most affected arteries is Nguma Avenue, in the commune of Ngaliema. However, a new glimmer of hope appears with the launch of rehabilitation work on this avenue by the interim governor, Gérard Mulumba. This initiative marks an important step towards improving road infrastructure and arouses great enthusiasm among the population.
Development :
The 5 kilometer long Nguma Avenue was previously in a state of disrepair, with potholes and faulty pipes leading to incessant traffic jams. Despite the passage of influential figures using this route, no action had been taken to remedy the situation. However, since taking office as interim governor, Gérard Mulumba has decided to tackle the problem head on.
Under the supervision of engineers from the Aaron Sefu company, the rehabilitation work on Nguma Avenue began. They include the partial repair of the damaged roadway and gutters, as well as the construction of a new pipeline to manage rainwater. In total, ten construction sites were opened along the avenue, with site managers responsible for ensuring compliance with standards and ensuring adequate monitoring.
Some sections of the avenue will require complete repairs, while others will be partially repaired. The objective is to make the entire Nguma Avenue passable and facilitate traffic in this part of the capital. This rehabilitation is seen as an important first step in improving road infrastructure in Kinshasa.
Impact and outlook:
The population of Kinshasa is delighted to finally see concrete actions taken to remedy the road problems which have long hampered the development of the city. This rehabilitation of Nguma Avenue raises great hope that other arteries in the capital will also benefit from repairs and improvements.
Kinshasa residents hope that these efforts will continue and that other rehabilitation projects will be put in place, in order to create a more fluid and accessible city. Better road infrastructure will help facilitate travel, boost the local economy and improve the quality of life of residents.
Conclusion :
The rehabilitation of Nguma Avenue marks a turning point in the improvement of Kinshasa’s road infrastructure. Thanks to the commitment of the interim governor and teams of engineers, this dilapidated artery will soon return to satisfactory condition. Let’s hope that this initiative inspires other rehabilitation projects throughout the capital, for the greater benefit of residents. The prospect of a more fluid and accessible city is now within reach.
