Mbinda is a town in the Republic of Congo, lying on the border with Gabon. It is a transport hub and lies at the end of a railway line to Brazzaville.

Overview[]

The town prospered as the southern end of the 75 km COMILOG Cableway from Moanda in Gabon, exporting manganese via Brazzaville, but this closed in 1986 when the Trans-Gabon Railway was completed. However, a rail link from Franceville to Brazzaville, probably via the town, is regularly proposed.
