(Ecofin Agency) - The Burkinabe government is launching a big program worth about $309 million to rehabilitate roads across the country. The information was reported Wednesday June 19 by spokesman Rémis Dandjinou (photo).
According to him, the program targets 14 projects in various towns including Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. Nearly $45 million will be used, in the first city, to develop the south-east bypass of Boulevard des Tansoba, thanks to Japanese funding. $18 million will be used to construct and tar 13 km of roads in the same city while another $36 million will serve for same works on the Fada N'Gourma-Bogandé road, which extends over about 129 km.
Many other road construction and development projects have also been planned. Funds for projects are provided mainly by the Special Road Fund of Burkina Faso (FSR-B) and the West African Development Bank (BOAD).
