Douala-Yaounde highway: traffic interruption slows down sub-regional economy

Cameroon that is strategically placed within the Central African sub-region is a major reception point for land lock countries including Chad, CAR, Congo Gabon where most of the imported goods come through and is channeled to these countries.

This explains why the interruption of traffic will not only be a blow to Cameroon’s economy but will affect these countries that almost entirely depend on Cameroon.

The presence of hundreds of heavy duty vehicles stranded after the road collapsed tell the story of the density of traffic on this highway

The Ministry of public works and other specialized services in charge of road maintenance are all hands on deck to find a quick solution to the situation that must not go for too long.
