Gambiaj.com – (BANJUL, THE GAMBIA) – President Adama Barrow will on Sunday, 15 November 2026, inaugurate the Sukuta-Jabang overpass and roundabout before laying the foundation stone for the expansion of the Westfield-Fajara-Atlantic Road-Old Cape Road corridor, in a major push to improve road infrastructure and ease traffic congestion in the Greater Banjul Area.
The afternoon ceremony will see the President first officially open the Sukuta-Jabang flyover and roundabout before launching the 7.7-kilometre road expansion project, which covers the Westfield-Fajara stretch of Kairaba Avenue, Atlantic Road and Old Cape Road.
The expansion project is part of the government’s broader efforts to modernize the country’s road network, improve urban mobility and strengthen connectivity across the Greater Banjul Area.
The widening of the strategic corridor is expected to ease traffic congestion, improve road safety and reduce travel time for motorists.
It is also intended to facilitate the movement of people and goods while improving access to commercial centers, public institutions, residential communities and essential services along the route.
The inauguration of the Sukuta-Jabang overpass and the launch of the road expansion project mark two major infrastructure developments aimed at addressing growing transport demands and improving connectivity within the country’s most densely populated urban areas.
