The National Roads Authority (NRA) recently unveiled its 2024 annual work plan during the 9th edition of the Transport and Infrastructure Sectoral Retreat held at Bakadaji Hotel on the Bertil Harding Highway in Kololi. This three-day retreat brought together various public enterprises and departments of Transport and Infrastructure, organized by the Ministry of Transport, Works, and Infrastructure.
During the event, Technical Director Goerge Jatta presented the 2024 work plan for the NRA to senior staff from various departments and public enterprises under the Ministry. In addition to the ongoing construction works scheduled for 2022-2023, the NRA outlined plans for new construction projects and maintenance tasks for the year 2024.
One of the key projects on the agenda is the resurfacing of sections of the Banjul-Serrekunda highway and a 5km stretch of the Westfield-Sukuta road. The Authority also plans to perform asphalt resurfacing on a 7km section of the Westfield-Mandinaba Road, with all projects expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
In addition to these road construction projects, the NRA has earmarked the construction of several other important roads for completion in 2024. These include the famous Jaliba Kuyateh Road in Brikama, Gunjur Access Road, and the rehabilitation of shoulders from Brikama to Mandinaba. Other planned constructions include the Kwameh Road in Serrekunda, Fajikunda Daru Salam, and the access road leading to USET in Brikama. The Authority is committed to completing all of these projects within the calendar year of 2024.
The announcement of these construction plans signals the NRA’s dedication to improving transportation infrastructure across key areas in the Gambia. By prioritizing the resurfacing and construction of vital roadways, the Authority aims to enhance connectivity, safety, and efficiency for residents and visitors alike.
It is evident that the NRA’s 2024 work plan aligns with broader efforts to boost infrastructure development and support economic growth in the Gambia. With a focus on completing construction projects in a timely manner, the Authority is poised to make significant strides in advancing the country’s transportation network.
As the year progresses, stakeholders will be closely monitoring the progress of these projects and their impact on the overall infrastructure landscape. By working collaboratively with public enterprises and departments of Transport and Infrastructure, the NRA is well-positioned to achieve its objectives and contribute to the continued development of the Gambia’s transportation sector.
