Pro-routes had recorded many achievements by the end of May 2017, with 274 km of roads rehabilitated, out of an overall forecast of 2,673 km, representing a completion rate of 85% compared to the overall objective. A length of 2,931 km was under maintenance, representing a rate of 87,62% for a project forecast of 3,345 km.

In 2018, the Pro-routes project planned the rehabilitation of 2,290 km on four roads: Bunduki-Gemena and Mobanza-Mobayi, Miti-Walikale, Mbuji Mayi-Bukavu, and Niania-Isiro. This new project also included in the program the maintenance of the previously rehabilitated roads, a total of 3,345 km.

The Government has submitted a request for funding to the International Development Association (IDA) for the implementation, in an improved approach drawing lessons from that of the Pro-Routes project, and in the same management arrangements, of a new road project, called the Connectivity and Transport Support Project (PACT), to cover identified axes to ensure the progressive extension of the viable network to the total coverage of the ultra-priority network, as well as development works at Goma airport. The road component of the PACT will include 3 main elements:

– Surface dressing of the Butembo-Kanyabayonga road in North Kivu Province, excluding the 50 km section crossing Virunga National Park. Surface dressing was chosen because most of this dirt road is already in good condition. The 50 km section crossing Virunga National Park (PNVi), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will not be paved and will be left as is to mitigate safeguard risks during the construction phase.

– Surface coating of the Mbuji-Mayi – Kabinda and Kabinda – Mbanga roads in the provinces of Kasai Oriental and Lomami. These two contiguous roads will complement the ongoing and future paving programs on the Kinshasa – Kikwit – Tshikapa – Kananga – Mbuji-Mayi road in order to continue the gradual establishment of a road corridor linking the West and East of the DRC.

– A provision for rehabilitation work on high-priority roads and critical bridges to be defined during project implementation. This provision will provide flexibility for the project to respond to emergencies and new priorities in terms of road infrastructure.

PACT investments will be made over a period of 5 years in the provinces of North Kivu, Kasai Oriental, and Lomamien, DRC. The project's development objective is to provide resilient, secure, and sustainable connectivity to and within the provinces of the Kasai region and Eastern DRC, and to increase the transparency of FONER, RVA, and ARPTC.
