Togo: Rehabilitation of Avepozo-Aneho road set to be completed by December 2022, government forecasts

(Togo First) - The two rehabilitation projects ongoing on the Avepozo-Aneho road should be completed next December. Their respective completion rates are 84% and 65%. 

This was disclosed during a field visit by the minister of public works, Zouréhatou Tcha-Kondo Kassa-Traoré. The official was with a delegation from Togo’s technical and financial partners (EU, AfDB, BOAD). 

"Overall, the quality of the works is satisfactory, except for some adjustments to be made. The work is progressing well, except for some delays that we have noted, and is carried out according to international standards. We have given instructions for the deadline to be met, the minister added.  

The two projects include the implementation of 2x2 lanes of the national road 2 on the Avépozo-Togokomé axis (10 km) and related developments; and the implementation of 2x2 lanes of the national road 2 on the Togokomé-Aného axis (20 km) and related developments. The works are carried out by the Chinese Road and Bridge Company, CRBC, and the Tunisian Soroubat.

These works are part of a larger one, the rehabilitation of the Lomé-Cotonou road. They should have been completed in March 2022 but were delayed. In May, Prime Minister Dogbé was at the site to assess the progress made. At the time, she urged contractors to speed up the works which were estimated to have reached a completion rate of 20 to 27%. 

In 2021, the cost of the two projects was estimated at CFA47 billion.
