The 28.6 km-long Serrekunda- Mandina Ba road is presently being rehabilitated with the help of an earlier OFID loan. Although the road is largely completed, current traffic loads have far exceeded original estimates. It was therefore decided that the original project specifications should be expanded, which will entail:

  • construction of a 14.4 km, two-lane highway on the busiest stretch between Serrekunda and the Banjul International Airport;
  • building of a concrete barrier to separate the existing road from the new highway;
  • construction of four steel pedestrian overpasses;
  • provision of sidewalks; and
  • installation of drainage works.
