This project aims to facilitate the transportation of agricultural goods and encourage regional integration and trade by upgrading an important segment of National Road 27, a key route that connects the rich agricultural district of Say to the capital, Niamey. The existing earth road, which was constructed over 30 years ago and is badly deteriorated, crosses the Diamongou and Goroubi Rivers. The Goroubi bridge was destroyed by flooding in 1998 and has never been replaced. Under the project, the road will be widened and asphalted, and both bridges will be reconstructed. The upgraded road will make transport easier, safer and cheaper, and will improve living conditions among the local population, which numbers over 261,000.
