Roads : Two streets soon bitumen at sector n°15 of Ouagadougou

On Tuesday, 10 March 2009, the Minister of Infrastructure and De-enclavement Seydou Kaboré made a visit to the construction site of Bagem-Nini streets and 15-236 of section 15 of Ouagadougou.

A total cost of CFAF 3,922 billion, including CFAF 3,922 billion, is a single lot divided into two blocks. A farm block whose work concerns the section of street 15,236 of a length of 530m, located between Muammar Khaddafi Boulevard and National Road No. 5 (Po Road). The second part of the conditional instalment relates to the construction and asphalting of the section of Bagem-Nini Street with a length of 624 m between Shell Station on Tansoba Boulevard and 15 236 Street.

This band also applies to the section of street 15-236 between Muammar Khaddafi Boulevard and France-Africa Boulevard. This section is 2,700 m.

Bagem-Nini Street consists of a roadway of eight (8) metres comprising two (2) lanes of four (4) metres each and sanitation works on both sides of the roadway. Street 15-236 is built on an 11-metre carriageway. It consists of two side lanes of 5.50 meters each and channels on both sides of the roadway. Work progressed by 8.50% with a delay of 7%. Started on 16 February 2009, the work is carried out by the company EBOMAF S.A. and is expected to last 12 months. Control of the site is carried out by the Civil engineering office transport hydraulic development (GTAH). The Minister for Infrastructure, Seydou Kaboré, welcomed the state of implementation of the works.

He also stressed the major difficulty facing the project. The site passes over an area of water table, which makes its implementation more complex. But the implementation technique being approved by the administration, since the various actors of the yard are committed to working in good intelligence and synergy, with additional costs being foreseen, Seydou Kaboré finds that the yard will be carried out in accordance with the rules of art.

For the President and CEO of EBOMAF-SA, Mahamadou Boukoungou, a roadmap drawn up by his company and the Ministry in charge of Infrastructures accompanies the work: "There is therefore no concern about meeting the deadline," he stressed. The project is financed entirely by the State budget.
