French, American and Chinese investors are already well represented.

Partnerships in this sector need to be centred around:

• Roads with high traffic levels,
  
  
• Structuring and integrating roads leading to the creation of tolls.

1 - Road network development:

• Franceville-Léconi (95 km). Would consolidate the region's integration;
  
  
• Léconi-Kabala (27 km). Route providing a link between the railway (Franceville) and the waterway (Mossako and the river Congo);
  
  
• Alembé-Mikouyi (302 km), will help to improve exchanges between Libreville and the south-east of Gabon;
  
  
• Fougamou-Mouila (109 km). Structuring route integrating into the North-South trunk road and situated on the Yaoundé-Brazzaville corridor;
  
  
• Libreville-Nsilé (105 km). Main road heading inland;
  
  
• Pont-Octra-Port Owendo (10 km). Road that would improve the safety of liquid product transportation;
  
  
• Libreville / Bifoun road. Franchising for high traffic levels. This is the only road serving the north, south and east of Gabon.
  
  
• Lambaréné–Fougamou (55 km);
  
  
• Fougamou-Doussala : is part of the N'Djamena-Yaoundé-Brazzaville corridor;
  
  
• La Leyou-Lastoursville (96,2 km);
  
  
• Ndendé-Lébamba (37 km) and Ndende-Koulamoutou, will connect the South of Gabon to the Trans-Gabon railway;

2 - Road infrastructure maintenance:

9,170 km of roads to be maintained every year, including 1,052 km of asphalted roads. The maintenance programmes for the road network cover 8,820 km every year.
