National Road No. 1 (Brazzaville-Pointe-Noire), opened in 2016, is at the heart of the country's road network. It pursues a dual objective: to connect the Atlantic coast to the far north and, thereby, to open up all of the country's departments. In this way, Congo strengthens its position as a transit hub in Central Africa.

The construction of the road linking Congo and Cameroon has achieved one of the objectives of the Regional Integration Strategy Paper for Central Africa for the period 2019-2025 (DSIR), which aims to address specific challenges, notably the infrastructure deficit in the transport sector. Yaoundé is now only a 7-hour drive from the Congolese border. This project will allow for better movement of people and goods between the two countries, as well as the opening up of areas with strong economic potential in agriculture, minerals, and timber in northern Congo and southeastern Cameroon.

In addition to financing this corridor, the African Development Bank (AfDB) approved, in December 2019, a loan of 56 million dollars to finance the road axes between the two Congos, in particular the road-rail bridge aimed at connecting Yaoundé, Libreville, Brazzaville and Kinshasa.

In March 2019, the management of the country's main road axes was entrusted to the private company La Congolaise des Routes SA (LCR), under a 30-year concession. These are the Brazzaville – Pointe-Noire (535 km), Brazzaville – Ouesso (835 km) and Brazzaville – Mindouli (150 km) corridors.

In 2023, the issue of road maintenance will be the subject of serious consideration following the damage observed after the torrential rains that fell on the Congolese capital in December 2022. The ministry's work will also involve the overhaul and digitalization of administrative documents as well as the classification of driving licenses. Other major objectives: the construction and maintenance of the Ndéndé-Doussala-Dolisie-Pointe-Noire-Brazzaville; Pointe-Noire-Brazzaville-Bangui-N'Djamena; Brazzaville-Oyo-Okoyo-Léketi-Gabon border and Ouesso-Sangmélima-Yaoundé-Douala corridors.
