CHEC builds 38 km motorway from Kribi to Mboro

In addition to the paved road of approximately 33 km, which currently serves the deep water port of Kribi, built in the region of South-Cameroon, accessing to the largest port infrastructure of the country will be also possible via a 38km freeway, starting from 2018.

This is the deadline set by the management of the Steering and Monitoring Committee for the construction of the industrial port complex of Kribi and the company China Harbour Engineering Corporation (CHEC), to complete this motorway whose works are currently in the general earthworks phase.

All "financing has already been finalised", the Cameroonian Minister of Economy, Louis Paul Motazé, specified.

This government member revealed the information on June 10, 2016, in Kribi, on the fringes of the signature of a financing agreement of FCFA 29 billion between the Cameroonian State and Belfius bank of Belgium, for the supply in drinking water of the industrial port complex of Kribi (CIPK).

While waiting for these supply works to CIPK and the new town to be created around this infrastructure to be carried out, we learn, the deep water port of Kribi has a water intake and treatment unit providing it with a production autonomy of 200 cubic meters of water per day.

The port, which awaits its commissioning announced for 2016, also has a mini-power plant with a capacity of 6 MW.
