BAMENDA URBAN BOULEVARD : Sanitation Works Continue on the Hospital Roundabout – T-Junction Section

(LVDE) — In Bamenda, construction of the new urban boulevard is progressing actively. Between PK 4+560 and PK 4+750, sanitation, earthworks, and utility relocation operations have advanced significantly, reflecting the authorities’ commitment to modernize urban traffic and strengthen the city’s hydraulic infrastructure.

The Bamenda urban boulevard project, a strategic initiative to improve mobility and living conditions, continues to develop steadily. Since January 12, 2026, on-site teams have intensified operations, particularly earthworks and sanitation-related works, essential for securing the future road network. On the Hospital Roundabout – T-Junction section, spanning PK 4+560 to PK 4+750, land clearance has reached 3.6 km of the 6.5 km planned for the entire project, while general earthworks have progressed to 3.37 km. Between PK 5+000 and PK 5+100, excavation works have been completed, preparing the ground for the installation of new structures.

Execution of hydraulic structures is a crucial component of the project. Of the 22 culverts planned, the first structure has been completed, while the formwork for Hydraulic Structure No. 135 (dimensions 2.0 x 2.50 x 2.00 m) is ongoing, and reinforcement for Structure No. 137 has begun. At the same time, demolition of old gutters continues along the Hospital Roundabout – T-Junction section, clearing space for the installation of the new sanitation infrastructure.

Prefabrication of sanitation elements is also progressing steadily: 1,560 linear meters of gutters have already been produced out of a total target of 8,980 meters, while 88 meters of 1.5 x 1.5 m culverts have been completed out of the 350 meters planned. This pace demonstrates the teams’ sustained commitment to meeting deadlines and ensuring the quality of the infrastructure.

Utility relocation operations represent another major component of the works. Interventions on CAMWATER and ENEO networks have reached 28.4% completion as of January 19, 2026. This stage, essential for securing water and energy supply, is coordinated with other activities to prevent delays in the overall schedule.

The Bamenda urban boulevard project exemplifies an integrated approach, addressing traffic, hydraulics, and technical networks simultaneously. Local authorities and the project owner emphasize the continuity of work and the safety of workers and residents. Once completed, this section will not only enhance urban accessibility but also contribute to resilience against flooding and heavy rainfall, sustainably improving the daily life of Bamenda residents.
