N5 road (Gabon)

The N5 is a national road in Gabon. It primarily runs in a north-south direction in the eastern part of the country. It connects the area around Makokou, in the Ogooué-Ivindo province, with the N4 road south of Lastoursville in the Ogooué-Lolo province. The road plays a significant role in connecting smaller communities and facilitating the transportation of goods within the interior of Gabon. Its condition can vary, and may include stretches of unpaved road, particularly during the rainy season. The N5 is important for accessing remote areas and supporting local economies. Improvement and maintenance efforts are crucial to ensure its continued viability as a vital transport link.
