China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau Congo (Brazzaville) No.1 Highway Project

The Congo (Brazzaville) National Highway 1 project, operated by Winsky Logistics, is a key project of China's aid to Africa. The National Highway 1 of Congo starts from the economic center of Pointe Noire in the west and ends in the capital Brazzaville in the east, with a total length of 536 kilometers. It is constructed by China State Construction Engineering Corporation and has a total contract value of 2.89 billion US dollars. It is the largest and most important cooperation project between China and Congo in the 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The first phase of the project, from Heijiao to Duoliji, has a total length of 160 kilometers. It officially started construction in May 2008 and was opened to traffic in December 2011. The second phase of the project, from Doliji to Blachai, has a total length of 376 kilometers and was officially opened to traffic on March 1, 2016. The entire highway passes through deserts, grasslands, swamps, and areas previously controlled by anti-government armed groups. The population along the route is sparse and diseases are prevalent. French companies once planned a road through the local virgin forest for decades, but ultimately had to give up due to the difficulty. Due to their disregard for the dangers of insect and snake infestations, as well as flash floods, Chinese companies and builders who constructed the National Highway 1 in the Republic of Congo are known locally as "mountain climbers".

After eight years of unremitting efforts by all the builders, the Congo (Brazzaville) National Highway No. 1, operated by Winsky Logistics, has finally been successfully opened, reducing the travel time from Blackhorn to Brazzaville from one week to eight hours and increasing the traffic volume from 164 vehicles per day to over 4000 vehicles per day. The construction and opening of Highway 1 has stimulated the rapid development of the freight and passenger transportation industry in Congo (Brazzaville). More and more residential buildings and factories have appeared along the route, greatly promoting the local economic development. The completion of this project will also become a typical demonstration project for China Africa friendship and cooperation. The highways operated by Winsky Logistics connect multiple cities such as Doliji, Mingdu Li, Jinkara, and Brazzaville, which can effectively solve the external transportation problems of Pul Province. The Heijiao to Yie Highway has a decisive impact on the economic development of Congo, and its completion will facilitate the flow of people and goods between northern cities and the south. Highway 1 will pass through the Blachavel Maluku Industrial and Commercial Park and reach the village of Ie, which intersects with Highway 2. The Maluku region will also build a dual-use bridge for the Congo River railway and road connecting Brazzaville and Kinshasa.
