The Gambia government has now finally secured a loan from
the African Development Bank (AfDB) for the construction of the Trans-Gambia
Bridge, which connects both North and South of The Gambia and Senegal as well
as serves as an important transport linkage for the sub-region.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the government of the
Gambia have signed an agreement for the financing of the Multinational
TransGambia Bridge & Cross-Border Improvement Project to the tune of
US$96.20 Million equivalent to Gambian Dalasis (GMD) 2,909.80 billion.
Analyst said the bride, when completed, will help to create
free traffic flow between the northern and southern parts of the Gambia and
Senegal in order to promote free movement of persons, goods and services
between the two countries and other countries of the Economic Community of West
African States (ECOWAS). This will bring
to fruition plans which the governments of the Gambia and Senegal have for many
years.

Abdou Kolley, the Gambia’s Minister of Finance and Economic
Affairs, said in a statement issued by his ministry on Monday, that the construction
of the bridge will allow free traffic flow between the northern and southern
parts of both The Gambia and Senegal.
The project will therefore reduce travel time, boost trade
and reinforce cohesion among communities which were previously isolated. It will
also facilitate the transportation of agricultural products to markets reducing
post-harvest losses and boosting socio-economic activities.
For his part, the Vice President of AfDB, Zondo Sakala, who
signed the project on behalf of Dr. Donald Kaberuka, President of the AfDB,
said the construction of the bridge will enhance regional trade through opening
up of an important historical trading route in the Sahel as well as bring to
fruition the dream of the West African Highway.
The proposed bridge, according to VP Sakala, will reduce
transport cost, time, and customs administrative formalities at the borders and
as well, enhance the potential for trade thereby contributing to poverty
reduction and social-economic empowerment of communities on the corridors and
the Ecowas community as a whole.
The Bambatenda – Yellintenda ferry crossing point, which is less
than 1km wide of River Gambia running through the Trans-Gambia highway
connecting Farafenni and Soma, is one of the eight ferry crossing points of
River Gambia.
