Feasibility study on railway expansion to start soon

The 3rd session of the Chad-Cameroon Commission stressed on the statement made in the press release on the adoption of “a simplified procedural manual on the development of a feasibility study towards the extension of Cameroonian railway to Chad,” during the session held from March 2-9, 2015 in Yaoundé.

Authorised sources assert that this suggests the imminent start of the said study for which the results should be available by the end of 2016.

In addition, the commission, which adopted an action plan and financing modalities for construction in 2015, has started the implementation of the project leadership with the appointment of its members by the two States and the technical partner – Bolloré Africa Logistics.

It also examined the final draft of the Chad-Cameroon Rail Commission’s constitution.
