Double surface dressing of the road from the Endama public school junction to the Elig Bitstetsa junction, with its crossings of the Medjoa and the Lékié.

Scope

Double surface dressing over approximately 5 km; crossings of the Medjoa and the Lékié, whose foundations were studied in 2023 by an accredited geotechnical laboratory; steel-girder bridges with reinforced-concrete decks provided for in the execution drawings.

Milestones

1. Setting-out report — June 2023
2. Pre-acceptance — 16 May 2025
3. Clearance of reservations — 22 May 2025
4. Provisional acceptance — 5 June 2025, opening a one-year guarantee period

Project narrative

The road from Endama to Elig Bitstetsa crosses two watercourses: the Medjoa, shortly after the start, and the Lékié, further along the alignment. Before designing the structures, the KHAYROUAL GROUP SARL / ETS EBESCA consortium had the ground at both crossings investigated by an accredited geotechnical laboratory in May 2023. The following month, a setting-out report fixed the alignment with the supervising engineer. The execution drawings provided for steel-girder bridges carrying a reinforced-concrete deck, together with box culverts and pipe culverts along the road. In spring 2025, the contracting authority's committee carried out pre-acceptance, then confirmed that reservations had been cleared. On 5 June 2025 it pronounced provisional acceptance: the double surface-dressed road entered its guarantee period.
