The movement of people and vehicles between the towns of Sangmelima and Djoum in the Dja and Lobo Divisions of the South region of Cameroon has been restored after the road was divided into two following heavy rains early Wednesday October 30, 2019.

On Wednesday October 30, 2019, the road linking the towns of Sangmelima and Djoum divided into two, following heavy downpour in that area.

This halted the movement of people and vehicles in an out of the two towns for over 24hours, before a temporal bridge was quickly constructed by the Arab contractor company overseeing the tarring of the Sangmelima-Djoum highway.

By now, circulation has been fully reinstated, meanwhile construction works have resumed on the 105 kilometres stretch of road linking Sangmelima to Djoum
