President Adama Barrow on Saturday inaugurated the 12-kilometre Brufut–Madiana–Banyaka–Kunkujang Mariama Road Project, a major infrastructure initiative aimed at improving transport connectivity in the West Coast Region.
The inauguration ceremony, held at Madiana Lower Basic School, attracted residents and beneficiaries from Kombo North and Kombo South, alongside government officials and community leaders.
Implemented by SSTP Construction Company with the National Roads Authority (NRA) serving as consultant, the project links the communities of Brufut, Madiana, Banyaka and Kunkujang Mariama.
Constructed as a double-surface-dressed road, the project features modern drainage systems designed to improve durability and withstand heavy rains during the rainy season.
The road is expected to ease movement within the beneficiary communities, facilitate the transportation of goods and services, and improve access to schools, health facilities and other essential social services. It is also anticipated to boost economic and social activities across the area.
Speaking at the ceremony, Gambian leader said infrastructure development goes beyond connecting places, noting that quality roads create opportunities and strengthen community ties.
