The colossal construction project of the road linking Tshikapa to Kamako in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to arouse enthusiasm and admiration. In the heart of Africa, this road is of capital importance for the opening up of the country and its connectivity with the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.
The latest progress on this titanic project informs us that the works have reached the village of Kadjanji with a view to connecting with the old road towards Kamako. The rapid progress of the works on the Shakhuaji-Kandjaji-Kamako section, with the opening at an impressive rate of 10 kilometers per week, testifies to the commitment and efficiency of the teams on the ground.
The arrival of the delayed asphalt plant in Angola as well as other essential equipment marks a crucial step in the progress of this major project. The installation of three NELOY geocell containers to reinforce the base layer of the road demonstrates the constant search for excellence in the construction of this vital infrastructure.
In lot 1 of the project, the construction of the fence of the life base at PK55 and the installation of the crusher at the Milombe quarry confirm the continuous progress made on the ground. The recent visit of the Governor of the Kasai province to the work site, his satisfaction with the progress of the site and his commitment to support the project team underline the strategic importance of this road for the region.
Since the start of the backfill work in selected soil between PK0+00 and PK2+500, all the actions carried out aim to complete the different layers of the roadway in compliance with quality and safety standards. The Tshikapa-Kamako road stands not only as an essential connection axis within the Congolese territory, but above all as a bridge to the rest of the world, promoting trade and strengthening the country’s geostrategic position in Central Africa.
In short, the construction of the Tshikapa-Kamako road embodies an example of determination, efficiency and ambition for the infrastructural development of the DRC. It is a collective enterprise that demonstrates the country’s potential and willingness to project itself into the future in a spirit of progress and modernity.
