This infrastructure project envisages the rehabilitation of 308 km of road including 8 connecting bridges. Due to road damages and geometric design issues of the East-West corridor, a stretch of road of 308 KM between Matta and Apoera, of which the greater length is constructed with laterite, needs urgent rehabilitation. A small area of 13 Km of the total length crossing through the villages of Matta and Pikin-Saron is paved. Eight (8) bridges in this road stretch also need urgent rehabilitation. The East-West corridor is used for heavy transport traffic (e.g., transport of wood logs, building materials, etc.), frequent traffic for the purpose of execution of mining and agricultural activities, and visits to recreation resorts. Length = 295 km and Width = 7.2m
