Many achievements had been recorded by Pro-routes at the end of May 2017, i.e. 274 km of roads rehabilitated, out of an overall forecast of 2,673 km, representing an achievement rate of 85% compared to the overall objective. A length of 2,931 km was under maintenance, representing a rate of 87,62% for a project forecast of 3,345 km.

In 2018, the Pro-routes project planned the rehabilitation of 2,290 km on four roads: Bunduki-Gemena and Mobanza-Mobayi, Miti-Walikale, Mbuji Mayi-Bukavu and Niania-Isiro. This new project also included in the program the maintenance of the previously rehabilitated roads, i.e. 3,345 km in total.

The Government has submitted a request for financing to the International Development Association (IDA) for the implementation, in an improved approach drawing lessons from that of the Pro-Routes project, and in the same management arrangements, of a new road project, called the Connectivity and Transport Support Project (PACT), to cover identified axes to ensure the progressive extension of the viable network to the total coverage of the ultra-priority network, as well as development works at Goma airport. The road component of the PACT will include 3 main elements:

– Surface dressing of the Butembo-Kanyabayonga road in North Kivu Province, excluding the 50 km section crossing the Virunga National Park. Surface dressing was chosen because most of this dirt road is already in good condition. The crossing of the Virunga National Park (PNVi), which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (over a length of 50 km), will not be paved and will be left as is to mitigate the risks of safeguards during the construction phase.

– Surface coating of the Mbuji-Mayi – Kabinda and Kabinda – Mbanga roads in the provinces of Kasai Oriental and Lomami. These two contiguous roads will complement the ongoing and future asphalting programs on the Kinshasa – Kikwit – Tshikapa – Kananga – Mbuji-Mayi road in order to continue the gradual establishment of a road corridor linking the West and East of the DRC.

– A provision for rehabilitation works on high-priority roads and critical bridges to be defined during project implementation. This provision will provide flexibility for the project to respond to emergencies and new priorities in terms of road infrastructure.

PACT investments will be made for a period of 5 years in the provinces of North Kivu, Kasai Oriental and Lomamien in the DRC. The development objective of the Project is to provide resilient, secure and sustainable connectivity to and within the provinces of the Kasai region and Eastern DRC, and to increase the transparency of FONER, RVA and ARPTC.
