Libreville, Gabon — 13 December 2025 (AGP) — Traffic flow in the PK12 area of Libreville has returned to normalcy following a recent overhaul, according to the Gabonese Press Agency.
The area, previously plagued by traffic congestion, now enjoys a smooth flow, a stark contrast to the previous situation.
The improvement is attributed to the construction project of a Flyover, which included the demolition of informal structures and the dismantling of an unauthorized market. “.
On circule mieux qu’avant, il n’y a plus de bouchons comme auparavant, “said Alain M, a taxi driver operating in the area. Clarisse, a local resident, echoed this sentiment, stating, “On voit clairement la différence. Avant, on mettait beaucoup de temps pour traverser le PK12.
Aujourd’hui, les voitures avancent plus vite et il n’y presque plus de blocages.”
The operation, which was part of the broader urban renewal initiative in Libreville, has been welcomed by both residents and commuters.
The removal of the unauthorized market and informal stalls has not only improved traffic but also enhanced the general appearance of the area.
Sources close to the project indicate that the operation was carried out in collaboration with local authorities and the United Nations, which has been involved in various urban development projects in Gabon.
The success of the project in easing traffic congestion in the PK12 area serves as a positive example of urban planning and development in Libreville. While the situation remains stable for now, further details on the long-term impact of the project are expected in the coming days.
The Gabonese Press Agency reported that the operation has received mixed reactions from the public, with some praising the changes while others express concern about the future of the informal market vendors.
However, local sources say that alternative arrangements are being considered to support these vendors.
The situation in Libreville’s PK12 area continues to improve following the operation to reconstruct the Flyover.
For now, residents and commuters alike can benefit from a more fluid traffic situation. Further details and reactions will be monitored as the project continues to unfold.
