New Facelift for Douche Municipal

This area is undergoing transformation.

Douche Municipal, or Place Ahmadou Ahidjo, is known by everyone in Douala and out of Douala because for some time it was a place people could board buses for other parts of the country especially to the Centre Region. During this period the famous douche municipal was shapeless with very bad roads and standing water in pot holes when it rains. Buses even used to board passengers on the road such that there was always traffic congestion in the area.
In a bid to carryout their mission to make Douala clan and beautiful, the Douala City council chose to reshape douche municipal, so that it can reflect it’s name and can make Douala a place to be. The plans for Douche municipal according to the engineer in the field will give the site an appearance enormous.
Samuel Kangmonye the engineer of egis Cameroon, company in charge of the work told Cameroon Tribune about the transformation which is supposed to take place. The first particularity now is a fountain which is under construction. The water will be flowing inward and it will be lighted such that when someone watches from afar it will be as if the water of the fountain is coloured. Secondly, a monument will be built in the fountain and he said the statue has not yet being defined and that will be done by the Government Delegate. A barrier will be placed around the fountain with billboards which will reflect or which will be lighted at night.
Apart from the fountain there is going to be a round about constructed also with billboards placed round the barriers. Probably a mini flower garden will be in the roundabout. The area is done such that there are other straight roads which could be used without passing from the roundabout. So on the straight roads; they have begun with the first layer of tar on the roads. He said they envisage finishing the work completely by September and because of the time frame left, he said they are going to block circulation in this place completely so that they can carryout their job without accurately. But he added the three agencies which will remain in that area, Finex, Guarantee Express and Central Voyage will continue circulation though it will be difficult for them.
