The company also noted that it has started preparation on the ground for the delivery of its equipment.
Today's consultation focused more on the examination of the CFHEC proposal, the level of preparation for the launch of the work and the analysis of the route, among other things.

Concerning the cost elements, the Project Owner has instructed the optimization technical choices, likely to drive costs down.
According to the provisions of Decree N 2023/141 of February 23, 2023, the route of this second phase must pass through the locality of Yabassi to end in Massoumbou, at the point of intersection with the bypass road of the city of Douala, over a length of 139.15 km. As the work on the bypass road is not yet complete, a connection road of approximately 8 km will be built. A connection to Edéa and Dibamba is also planned.
At the end of this consultation, the company was instructed to draw up its work schedule and send its final financial proposal.
