Approximately 75% of 1,600 km national network is paved; main roads use smooth asphalt while secondary routes feature volcanic cobblestones or unpaved tracks. At least 50% of roads in poor condition. Main trunk corridors well-maintained; rural access roads deteriorate quickly. Poor street lighting outside cities creates night-driving hazards. Road density high relative to arable land.

Limited broadband infrastructure with significant urban-rural divide. Mobile internet more prevalent than fixed-line fiber. Average speeds estimated 15-25 Mbps in urban areas, much lower in rural locations. Fiber deployment concentrated in Praia and Mindelo. Infrastructure investment ongoing but remains below regional standards.
