RN1 Road Project – Section: Stanley Bridge to 24 November Roundabout

The RN1 Road Rehabilitation Project, specifically the section between Stanley Bridge and the 24 November Roundabout, represents a vital urban infrastructure upgrade in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Undertaken by Mango International Construction Company, the project is part of the government’s broader effort to modernize transportation networks and ease traffic congestion across key economic corridors.

This critical segment of National Route 1 (RN1) serves as a major artery connecting central Kinshasa to surrounding districts and national highways. With daily traffic volumes exceeding tens of thousands of vehicles, the need for resurfacing, road widening, and improved traffic management was urgent.

The project scope includes:

• Full road resurfacing with high-durability asphalt
• Drainage system upgrades to prevent flooding during rainy seasons
• Pedestrian walkways and safety rails
• Modern street lighting installation
• Improved traffic signage and markings
• Roundabout reconstruction at the 24 November junction to streamline traffic flow

Mango International deployed a skilled engineering team, advanced road construction machinery, and a local labor force to ensure the project met international quality standards while creating employment opportunities within the community. Strict environmental and safety protocols were followed throughout the construction phase.

One of the key highlights of this section is its strategic importance. It links government institutions, commercial zones, and residential neighborhoods, significantly impacting daily mobility for thousands of citizens. Upon completion, the road will reduce travel time, lower vehicle operating costs, and improve overall road safety.

Local residents and commuters have already begun noticing the difference. Smoother surfaces, organized intersections, and reliable drainage have made the stretch more efficient and accessible for both private and public transport. The newly improved road also facilitates better logistics movement, supporting trade and economic activity across Kinshasa.

Mango International Construction Company is honored to contribute to the nation’s infrastructure transformation. With a focus on durability, community impact, and smart urban planning, the RN1 Stanley Bridge to 24 November Roundabout project showcases the company’s commitment to quality and national development.

This road is not just a physical upgrade—it is a symbol of progress and a pathway to a more connected future for Kinshasa and beyond.
