Rain barriers
Rain barriers are only on dirt road. They are legal and defined by Ministerial order (Ministry of Public
Works and Transportation). Regional offices localise them according to some criteria (road in bad
condition, security).
Rain barriers are usually managed by private subcontracting companies in charge of light road
maintenance after rainy season. Contracts are renewed on a yearly basis by government.
The rule is:
- Stop for 6 hours after the rain for vehicle > 3,5 T and stop for 3 hours for vehicle < 3,5 T
- Stop 12 hours after the rain during night time.
Companies in charge of rain barriers must organise (as mentioned in contract with government) at
least 3 monthly controls on the respect of rules. Regional Office can also organise improvised
controls assisted by Gendarmerie.
17 rain barriers in Eastern Chad:
- Abeche – Biltine:
- Abeche exit
- Foundo (40 km)
- Malanga
- Biltine entrance
- Abeche – Am Zoer:
- Abeche exit
- Doren (15 km)
- Mata (45 km)
- Am Zoer entrance
- Abeche – Adre:
- Abeche exit
- Moura (40 km)
- Am Layouna (60 km)
- Abougoulene (90 km)
- Farchana (120 km)
- Adre entrance
- Abeche – Biteha:
- Abeche exit
- Takacha (25 km)
- Biteha entrance (38 km)
Ministerial Decree N.13 from April 9th, 2008, determines restrictions’ conditions for rain barriers
during rainy season. Regional Office has announced in July 1st, 2008 the conditions of use for
Eastern Chad (Ouaddai, Wadi Fira, Sila)
Restrictions valid until the end of the rainy season:
- Traffic on dirt road for vehicle > 3.5 T is not allowed from June 1st 2008 for East and July 1st 2008
for South.
- Traffic is allowed for vehicles up to 10 T on the following eastern roads:
o Abeche – Biltine
o Abeche – Adre
o Abeche – Goz Beida
o Abeche – Am Zoer – Guereda – Iriba
Traffic must always respect rain gates and waiting time if raining.
Special exemption can be done by the Ministry in case of humanitarian emergency. A justified and
detailed letter must be addressed to the Minister.
Amends:
- 500.000 CFA for the vehicle owner
- Revocation of driving license for the driver
- To participate in rehabilitation of the road section damaged by the vehicle.
Wadis
Wadis represent probably the most acute constraint for road transport in Chad, particularly during
the rainy season. Important wadis can not be crossed for several weeks during rainy season. Smaller
wadis are only closed when strong rain occurs and remain closed 6-12 hours after the rain has
stopped. A growing number of wadis have been equipped with so call radier, concrete
reinforcements (concrete slab) which simplify the crossing. However, these radiers tend to be
washed away during heavy rains and often need repair.

There are only four relevant bridges in eastern and central Chad (described below). Most bridges are
located in southern Chad.
Projects
A bridge above Wadi Batah on Abeche–Goz Beida road is actually discussed by Swiss DDC. Project
could start in 2008/2009 and last at least 1 year.

Transport Corridors
International Corridors Leading to the Country
2 main transport corridors to provide goods in Chad. One is coming form Benghazi Port in Libya, the
other one from Douala in Cameroon.
Lybia Corridor
Road stretch from Benghazi to Kufra
Road stretches from Abeche to Kufra (eastern route)
Road stretches from Abeche to Kufra (western route)
Cameroon Corridor
Ngaoundéré is the final station of the main railways line Douala Port. With a dry port developed
around the railways station, it is the second logistics hub of the country after Douala.
Presently, there are two main road corridors from Douala to Ngaoundéré:
- The main road via Garoua-Boulaï at the border with Central African Republic, which is the
legal/customs road. This is the road authorized by the customs and which should be used by trucks
in transit to Chad and Central African Republic. Cargoes destined to Chad and Northern Cameroon
can be loaded on wagons up to Ngaoundéré (for WFP).
- The road via Bafoussam, also called the ‘west’ road, which should not be used for goods in transit
to neighbouring countries, unless prior authorization is obtained from the customs.

Comments
Road stretches 1 and 2 are open all year long. During rainy season, rain barriers are in place during
and after heavy rainfalls to stop traffic and avoid road damages.
Road stretch 4 from Oum Hadjer to Abeche will be upgraded to asphalt. Road has started in
November 2007 and will last for 18 months. This will significantly reduce the driving time on this
stretch.

Security: Bad
Adre is a highly militarized area due to its strategic position on the Sudanese border. Security
situation, while usually quiet, is highly volatile.
Several wadis on the road from Abeche to Adre are not only barriers during rainy season, but require
also thorough driving skills during dry season.
Just after the rainy season, the road is in very poor conditions, particularly the last 50 km before
reaching Adre.
Attacks have been taken place on this road. Currently, trucks on this stretch have to move in
convoys. Car jacking has been occurring frequently between Bahai and Abeche.

Comments
The Kanem region only has one primary road from Massaguet to Bol. Most other roads are tracks
which can only be passed by trucks up to 25 MT.
Most of road stretch 3 between Ngouri and Mao is sand. Adequate equipment is required.
Commercial transports to Niger through Kanem use the road from Mao to Nguimi via Nokou. The
complete journey from Mao to Nguimi takes 72 hrs for 25 MT trucks.
Fuel on the road stretch N’Djamena – Mao is only available in N’Djamena.
