Franceville Road Rehabilitation — Phase 3 — Gabon

Gabon · Franceville, Haut-Ogooué Province · Road transport

Overview

The Franceville Road Rehabilitation — Phase 3 project covers the upgrading of the urban road network in Franceville, capital of Haut-Ogooué Province. Available technical documents describe road-rehabilitation works across the city's four districts, covering a reported total length of 12.899 km.

In May 2024, the project was included in a memorandum of understanding and partnership between the Gabonese state and Colas, signed during the Gabon-France Economic Forum. The memorandum jointly covered Phase III of the Franceville roads and the Bifoun-Lambaréné corridor for a reported aggregate amount of FCFA 76 billion.

The 2026 Finance Act separately provides for FCFA 5 billion of drawdowns for the Franceville Road Rehabilitation, Phase 3. This amount is a budgeted 2026 drawdown and must not be treated as the project's total cost.

Financing

The latest identified public financing appears in Gabon's 2026 Finance Act, which provides for an FCFA 5 billion drawdown for the Franceville Road Rehabilitation, Phase 3. The project is listed in the schedule of drawdowns under project-loan agreements.

This amount is not an estimate of the project's total cost. A memorandum signed in 2024 covered an aggregate envelope of FCFA 76 billion, but this combined two separate operations: the Franceville roads Phase III and the Bifoun-Lambaréné corridor. The institutional sources reviewed do not provide an official allocation between the two projects.
