Buea Mayor Eyes Upper Bonduma Road Rehabilitation to Ease Traffic Congestion

Buea Mayor David Mafany Namange is counting on the rehabilitation of the 1.4-kilometre Upper Bonduma Road to help reduce traffic congestion along the municipality’s main boulevard.

The project comes amid reports of heavy traffic on the main boulevard in recent days. Once completed, the rehabilitated road is expected to provide an alternative route and improve movement within the municipality.

However, the road works have also raised concerns among some property owners affected by the project. While they acknowledge the potential benefits of improved road infrastructure, some continue to express dissatisfaction over the losses they say they have incurred.

The rehabilitation is being carried out by SAMALO SARL under the Presidential Plan for the Reconstruction and Development of the North West and South West Regions.

The project highlights the challenges that can accompany infrastructure development, particularly where road expansion and rehabilitation affect existing properties.

As work progresses, attention will remain on whether the improved road can ease pressure on Buea’s main boulevard while addressing concerns raised by affected property owners.
