New Landslide Threat in Dschang
A new landslide threat has prompted emergency works in Dschang, Cameroon.
Partial landslides, widening cracks, and blocked sections are threatening the Bafoussam–Dschang–Melong highway in western Cameroon, which has been under reconstruction since March 2025.
The reconstruction efforts began after a deadly landslide in November 2024. However, seven months into the project, the site is showing signs of collapse, alarming residents and travelers who depend on this key regional corridor.
After last year’s disaster, the Ministry of Public Works launched reconstruction work and built a diversion route to keep traffic flowing. Minister Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi ordered emergency repairs to restore circulation after the bypass collapsed two months after opening.
Five months later, new subsidence has appeared on the site.
