N5 road (Central African Republic)

The N5 road is a primary road in the Central African Republic (CAR). It runs generally east-west across the south-central portion of the country. It connects the town of Bambari in the Ouaka prefecture to the town of Bria in the Haute-Kotto prefecture.

The N5 is a significant transportation artery, facilitating the movement of goods and people between these regions. Its condition and maintenance are crucial for trade, access to essential services, and overall economic development in the area. The road's accessibility is often affected by seasonal rains, which can render sections impassable. Security concerns and the presence of armed groups have also historically posed challenges to safe travel along the N5.
