For over a year, the work of the Burundi Road Agency (AR Burundi) has not yet been completed, and the handover has not taken place. |
The road leading to the capital of Bujumbura Province from RN1 (Bujumbura_Bugarama) has been facing significant damage due to rainwater erosion and the presence of large trucks searching for construction materials. The ongoing roadworks, conducted by the Burundi Road Agency (AR Burundi), have exceeded a year without completion and have yet to undergo inspection.
The situation has created mounting concerns for both commuters and transporters, particularly those traveling from the Isare commune, which serves as a significant supplier of food products to the city of Bujumbura.
The road's deterioration has been primarily attributed to the erosive effects of rainwater and the heavy traffic of private trucks in search of rubble and crushed gravel. Over time, this has taken a toll on the road's structural integrity, posing safety risks for all users.
Despite the long duration of these road repairs, they remain unfinished, leaving commuters and transporters in a state of uncertainty. It has come to light that the inspection and acceptance of the completed work have not yet taken place, according to a source close to the AR Burundi.
The prolonged delay in the completion of these essential repairs has affected the daily lives of those relying on this route, including businesses that depend on the transportation of goods from the Isare commune to Bujumbura. The lack of progress on this crucial infrastructure project has left many frustrated and concerned about the safety and efficiency of the road.
As authorities continue to grapple with the challenges of road repair and maintenance, residents and businesses in the affected areas are eagerly awaiting a resolution to ensure the road's safety and functionality for the long term. The situation underscores the need for timely and effective infrastructure management to support the region's economic activities and ensure the well-being of its inhabitants.
