Transportation infrastructures meet an essential need: the flow of people and goods, crucial to both economic growth and poverty alleviation.
Central African Republic: Rehabilitation project for engineering structures in the priority road network in the South-West
For many years, the Central African Republic faced many problems which led to a serious economic crisis.
In the transportation sector, this crisis led to a drop in traffic that reached nearly 50% for all modes of transportation: road, air and river.
Dakar: Project to improve the fluidity of traffic in the Greater Dakar area
Due to the geographical configuration of the Cap-Vert peninsula and the location of economic areas and residential neighbourhoods, the different arteries of the Greater Dakar area are regularly congested to the point of saturation during rush hour.
Traffic problems have become critical in the industrial area and near the port, where personal vehicles and heavy trucks often share the same streets.
Moroni: International airport upgrading project (Comoros)
For an insular country like Comoros, airport infrastructures play a crucial role in the country’s economic activity and accessibility. Political and social factors have made Comoros increasingly less attractive as a tourist destination
For this reason, Comoros has all but disappeared from tour-operators’ catalogues, and the turnover of the International Airport of Moroni Prince Said Ibrahim (AIMPSI), a public establishment of industrial and commercial nature that has managed the airport since 1974, has dropped off.
Senegal: Faidherbe bridge rehabilitation project in Saint Louis
Faidherbe bridge links the continent to the island on which the historic city of Saint Louis of Senegal is found and to the Barbarie Strip, a narrow sand bar on which the Atlantic ocean’s waves break.
With 160,000 inhabitants, Saint Louis, the region’s capital, is the fifth largest city in Senegal. Its main activities are administration, fishing (which employs 40,000 people) and, increasingly, tourism.
China: Luoyang-Zhangjiajie railroad line electrification project
China has the most productive and most intensely used rail network in the world. It represents 6% of the world rail lines (approximately 70,000 km) and 25% of the kilometre-tons transported by rail on the planet.
Yet, this network must be further developed and optimised in order to meet the high demand for transportation of people and goods. The Medium-to-Long Term Plan for the sector calls for, notably, the expansion of the network during the 2003-2020 period to 100,000 km, 50,000 km of which will be double track and 50,000 km of which will be electrified (compared to 12,000 km today), as well as the creation of high-speed passenger lines.
