The African Development Bank (ADB) will finance the construction of the Bissau-Dakar road corridor with $100.73 million allocated for the completion of the Farim-Tanaff-Sandinieri first phase.
The project involves the development of 49.40 kilometres of bitumen road - 23 kilometres in Guinea-Bissau and 26.40 kilometres in Senegal - as well as the construction of a 325 metre long bridge in the town of Farim, Guinea-Bissau, on the Cac River heh.
"This project will allow to improve the level of service of the Fatim-Tanaff-Sandinieri road, as well as the security and the crossing of the Cacheu River to access the capital of Guinea-Bissau," said Mohamed Cherif, country manager of African Development Bank in Senegal
