Congo Brazzaville-Gabon Lekoni route

[DRad]

I just finished the Brazzaville-Lekoni route and I figured I'd pass y'all some info on it.

Brazz-Obouya along N2:
Decent tar, some short potholed stretches.
Obouya-Boundji:
Under Chinese construction. In the wet the road base they had down was scary slippery clay, but the detours were wet sand and not too terrible (beyond the ruts). In the dry I guess it would be reversed, but they are moving on that road and it should be done fairly quickly.
Boundji-Okoyo:
Beautiful new tar. Bridges are still being worked on, so detours around them are dirt, but bridged.
Okoyo-Border:
Living hell in the wet. DEEP mud, DEEP muddy sand, tire-wide ruts deep enough to make my panniers scrape along both sides, muddy pools of water knee-midthigh deep. Closer to the border you get up a bit higher so you are just left with deep beach sand in many places. In the dry it would be much better, but with many long (multi-km) bits of deep beach sand.
Border-Lekoni-Franceville:
All very good tar
