A new bridge currently under construction will improve transport between Cameroon and Chad. Loans being supplied by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the European Union (EU) are helping pay for much of the work. These will be paid back by the Cameroon Government and Chad Government.
The project is costing US$123.7 million and the 620m-long bridge should be complete in early 2024. This will be the second bridge linking the two countries. The new bridge will connect Yagoua in Cameroon with Bongor in Chad. The work is being carried out by the firms Razel and Sotcogog and commenced in early 2020.
