The Prime Minister and Head of government Chief Dr. Dion Ngute arrives Bamenda this Morning to Launch construction work on the Bamenda Urban Bypass, a 6.5 km road that will open up circulation and vastly improve the urban road network.

The project initially announced in 2016 and delayed by the Anglophone crisis and subsequently issues of illegal destruction and compensation of properties.
Public Works (MINTP)Delegate for the Northwest Region, Mr. Ndifor Cyprien Ngenge recently told the press in Bamenda that all cheques for compensation have been paid out waiting only for the work to commence.
The road of way he explained will stretch from 10 metres to over 30 metres wide in certain parts, adding that urban road construction poses numerous challenges.
The road that will be a Dual carriage way forms the main road artery of Bamenda and is also been constructed alongside other feeder roads like the Veterinary Junction to City Council Road and the Small Mankon Vicky street
