Louis Berger has signed a five-year, 7 million euro ($9.3 million) contract to manage the construction of the first segment of the Yaoundé-Douala highway in Cameroon, the company said. The road segment will connect the capital in Yaoundé with the country’s economic center and deep water port in Douala. The current road between the cities is extremely congested, unsafe, poorly maintained and full of truck traffic, including log carriers. The improvements will result in a straighter, two-lane highway, officials said.
The roadway will also benefit landlocked countries in Central Africa.
