Background and Objective of the Study

The Banjul - Barra Bridge Project is a strategic infrastructure link within the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan Transport Corridor Development Programme, led by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The corridor aims to strengthen regional integration, enhance connectivity, and foster increased trade and economic development throughout West Africa. As part of this regional vision, the Barra Bridge will serve both Senegal and The Gambia as a vital link to improve efficient movement of people, goods, and services within and across borders. The overarching objective of this feasibility study is to determine the technical, financial, environmental, social, and legal viability including the assessment of the required institutional arrangement for the management of a bridge between the North and South banks of the River Gambia to link the important cities in the region.
