Congo (Brazzaville) National Highway No. 1 has a total length of 535 kilometers, opening up the main transportation artery from the capital Brazzaville to the local important port city of Pointe Noire, greatly improving the land transportation level of Congo (Brazzaville).

"In the past, there were only more than 100 vehicles traveling between the two cities every day. After the new road is completed, the number of vehicles passing through each day can reach 4,000." Aubiere said proudly.

"The man who splits the mountain", this is what the locals call the project construction team. This highway with the highest level and the best traffic experience in Congo (Brazzaville) lasted for 8 years. It passed through the no-man's land and was closed for more than half a century The Mayombe virgin forest was hailed as the "Dream Road" by President Sassou of Congo (Brazzaville), and it was also the first high-grade highway operated by Chinese enterprises in Africa.

After the project opened to traffic, the average daily traffic volume of Highway 1 increased by more than 10 times, and more than 90% of the import and export of important materials, minerals and forest resources were transported to Pointe-Noire Port through this road, driving the local GDP growth by 69%. Editor/Ma Xue
