The Nyong-et-Kellé department in Cameroun is witnessing significant investments from the Ministère des Travaux Publics to enhance mobility and improve road connectivity. The projects involve construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads, with a focus on upgrading the existing infrastructure. With approximately 2,921 km of roads, including 192 km of asphalted roads, the department faces accessibility challenges, particularly during the rainy season. To address these issues, the government is continuing its interventions.

One of the major projects underway is the construction of a pont on the Nyong River at Malombo, funded by the MINTP to the tune of 9.14 billion FCFA. The project's provisional reception took place on July 30, 2026. Additionally, rehabilitation works are ongoing for the Éséka–Badjob–Messondo–Mbouni–Kellé Ndongong–Pont Kellé axis (66.5 km). Other interventions planned include maintenance of the Éséka–Song Libot–Sibongo road (36.8 km) and rehabilitation of the Boumnyébel–Éséka–Lolodorf axis (88.11 km), with an investment of approximately 2.72 billion FCFA.

For the period 2027-2029, the MINTP plans to invest around 14.55 billion FCFA in constructing and rehabilitating approximately 160 km of roads on the Ngoumou–Otélé–Makak–Éséka and Ngog-Mapubi–Boumnyébel–Éséka–Lolodorf axes. These investments aim to improve road connectivity, enhance mobility, and support economic growth in the region.
