The chart above shows, for each construction period in the Sud-Kivu region, the SNDi of new street additions (bar height) and the volume added (bar width), so that bar area reflects the total disconnectedness burden of that period's construction. The 2006-2020 period contributed the greatest disconnectedness burden, with 2,400 km of street added at an SNDi of 10.07. Overall, the SNDi of new street additions in the region followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase.
