Fatshimetrie, August 16, 2024 – The renovation of the Abombi bridge on the Bunia-Mungbwalu road axis, located in the territory of Djugu in Ituri, represents a crucial step forward for the improvement of the region’s road infrastructure. The Association of Drivers of Congo (ACCO) expressed its satisfaction with this rehabilitation which was greatly needed.
Bienvenu Lumeri, president of Bunia-Mungbwalu sector ACCO, highlighted the importance of this restoration, highlighting the serious problems road users were facing due to the dilapidated state of the bridge. Accidents and property damage caused by the dilapidated structure were commonplace, causing considerable disruption to trade and travel in the region.
This renovation of the Abombi bridge, carried out by the company “Sous le palm” and financed by the provincial government of Ituri, demonstrates the commitment of local authorities to improve road infrastructure for the well-being of citizens. However, it is essential to emphasize that this is only a first step and there are still many other bridges and roads in need of urgent renovation in the region.
The rehabilitation of the Abombi bridge not only benefits drivers in the region, but also the local economy and residents who depend on this road for their daily activities. By ensuring the safety and passability of roads, the authorities help to stimulate trade, facilitate travel and strengthen the socio-economic development of the region.
It is therefore crucial that the provincial government continue its efforts in renovating and constructing road infrastructure in order to guarantee optimal traffic conditions for all road users. Bridges are essential elements of regional connectivity and their good condition is essential to ensure the growth and prosperity of the region.
In conclusion, the renovation of the Abombi bridge on the Bunia-Mungbwalu road axis is a significant step forward which demonstrates the authorities’ desire to promote the development and well-being of local populations. Hopefully this project will serve as a catalyst for other initiatives to improve road infrastructure in the Ituri region.
