Recently, the inauguration ceremony for the improvement works on a section of the Bissau-Dakar Road Corridors, built by a Chinese company, was held in Tanaff, a city in southern Senegal.

Phase One of the Bissau-Dakar Road Corridor Improvement Project, carried out by China Harbor Engineering Company Ltd. (CHEC), covers a total length of 26.4 kilometers, starting in Tanaff and extending to the border with Guinea-Bissau. The project includes rehabilitation of the roadbed and pavement, upgrading of drainage systems, and implementation of road safety facilities.

In a speech at the ceremony, Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye said the modernized road will greatly facilitate travel for Senegalese citizens and further promote cross-border travel between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau.

Sun Haijun, deputy general manager of CHEC's West Africa regional branch, said the company will advance construction in accordance with agreed standards and deadlines to ensure high-quality implementation of the project and better serve local economic and social development.
