In the landscape of the Lower Congolese River, a promising construction project was recently launched by Governor Grâce Nkuanga Mansuangi Bilolo. Indeed, the Ngandavio Bridge, located in Tshiela in the Kongo-Central province, was the scene of a ceremony marking the start of work to rehabilitate it and improve its accessibility for the local population. This bridge, which spans the Ngomamba River, had been in a state of disrepair since 2004, before the authorities decided to take action to remedy it.
This initiative, led by the governor himself, has raised hopes in the Tshiela community, as it will not only strengthen local infrastructure, but also facilitate access to strategic points such as the airfield currently being rehabilitated by the RVA. The construction of a modern and secure structure will help boost the regional economy by allowing better transit of goods and people.
The Ngandavio Bridge is set to become a symbol of progress and development for the Kongo-Central region. With its 10 meters in length and 4 meters in width, this mixed structure combining metal beams and reinforced concrete will offer increased durability and resistance to bad weather and wear and tear. The three months required for its construction, although subject to climatic hazards, represent a reasonable time frame to complete this important project for the locality.
In short, the rehabilitation of the Ngandavio Bridge in Tshiela is not limited to a simple construction operation, but is part of a broader approach aimed at strengthening regional infrastructure and stimulating local development. This project embodies the authorities’ commitment to improving the living conditions of residents and promoting sustainable economic growth. A crucial step towards a more promising future for this community on the banks of the Congo.
