Over 50km of roads to be constructed in The Gambia ahead of OIC summit
Modified date:
The local organising committee for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit is spearheading the construction of over 50km of roads in The Gambia to ease traffic congestion ahead of the 2022 event.
Some of these long stretched roads include: Sukuta- Willingkama, Brufut-Ghana Town; Touba Sanchaba road-Kerr Serign-Sukuta camping; and shorter ones like the Kanifing Hospital to GTMI and the Rev J.C. Faye roads amongst 20 other designated points.
Design for the project
According to Mr Imded Gharbi, manager of Pan-Arab Consultants’ Engineers (PACE), the consultancy firm in collaboration with National Roads Authority (NRA), the design is taking some time because the construction works are taking place in an urban area and the specific character of each of the 20 sections must be taken into consideration as it determines what kind of road to be built.
