(Business in Cameroon) - Bus Saviem: it is the kind of vehicle that you encounter on the Bertoua-Batouri road. Drivers will tell you that this bus can easily adapt to the almost unusable state of the road.  

The road Bertoua - Batouri – Kenzou (Cameroon) – Republic of Central Africa border, 215 km long, will link Bertoua, the regional capital of the East and Kenzou, a border town within the Republic of Central Africa. The project consists of three lots: Bertoua-Akokan (46.3 km) Akokan-Batouri (49.1 km) and Batouri - Kenzou RCA-border (120 km).
It will open up Kadey, Lom and Djerem divisions in the East region, thereby linking the region to the rest of the country and facilitating the movement of goods and persons. This region has a high agricultural potential. This road would also increase trade with Equatorial Guinea.

The project cost is estimated at 70 billion CFA francs (€ 110 million). Technical studies of the first to lots are available at the Ministry of Public Works, but funding is still being sought. The estimated duration for completion is 72 month according to the studies available.
