Infrastructure
Boats link the city's Freeport of Monrovia, the country's busiest port, with Greenville and Harper. The nearest airport is Spriggs Payne Airport, located less than four miles from the city center. Roberts International Airport, the largest international airport in Liberia, is 60 km (40 mi) away in Harbel. The city is connected with the rest of the country via a network of roads and railways. Monrovia is listed as the home port by between ten and fifteen percent of the world's merchant shipping, registered in Liberia under Flag of Convenience arrangements. Both private taxis and minibuses run in the city, and are supplemented by larger buses run by the Monrovia Transit Authority. Prior to the wars, the Mount Coffee Hydropower Project provided electricity and drinking water to the city. In recent years (2005–present)the roads on many streets in Monrovia have been rebuilt by World Bank and the Liberian Government; private and public infrastructures are being built or renovated as reconstruction takes place.
