On 10 November 2026, a guided inspection tour of the 167‑kilometre Yaoundé‑Edéa road was organised by Cameroon’s Ministry of Public Works, drawing the participation of more than thirty companies that have expressed interest in the reconstruction tender.
The visit allowed the prospective contractors to travel the full length of the route that links the capital, Yaoundé, with the coastal city of Edéa, a corridor that is vital for the movement of goods and passengers between the interior and the Atlantic coast.
During the tour, ministry officials briefed the delegations on the current state of the road, highlighted sections that require major rehabilitation, and outlined the technical specifications that will form part of the forthcoming call for tenders.
All companies present confirmed their intention to submit proposals once the tender documents are released, signalling strong commercial interest in a project that is expected to improve regional connectivity and support economic activity.
Cameroon’s road network remains a priority for the government, with the Yaoundé‑Edéa reconstruction forming part of a broader effort to upgrade key transport arteries across the country.
The Ministry of Public Works indicated that the evaluation of bids will follow the standard procurement procedures, after which the contract for the reconstruction will be awarded to the selected consortium.
