Many African nations face challenges in the development of their transportation infrastructure due to a lack of resources and funding, as well as inadequate equipment and insufficient technical skills. However, several governments and organizations have made investments in road infrastructure development in recent years, leading to more modern and efficient transportation networks. While the road infrastructure is improving maintenance remains an issue.
Road Construction and Maintenance standards are far below Western Standards
Potholes are a very significant, and dangerous problem in All of Africa
Poor Construction standards lead to the early deterioration of roads
Maintenance is often neglected and is very expensive so roads are often left in a bad state of disrepair
After the rainy season, the roads are worn out and often necessary repairs are not done for months
