The road will equally connect Kupe Muanenguba  Division with Meme Division,  Manyu Division, and neighbouring countries like Nigeria without necessarily passing through the Littoral region. 
The road has the objective to dis-enclave a good number of agricultural production basins like cocoa, coffee, and plantains, which are heavily produced by villages along the stretch of road. Mineral materials like sand and stones are heavily found in these areas that will be exploited after the construction of the road.
