Barrow Inaugurates 91km Kiang Kabada Roads Project

President Adama Barrow on Saturday, 24 October 2026, inaugurated the 91-kilometre Kiang Kabada Roads Project at a ceremony held in Sibito village, Lower River Region (LRR).

The roads feature double surface dressing and streetlights to improve rural connectivity and access to essential services.

Speaking at the inauguration, President Barrow said the roads would bring farmers closer to markets, reduce travel time for families and traders, and improve access to schools and health facilities. He added that the improved network would facilitate the movement of agricultural produce and create opportunities for local businesses and entrepreneurs.

The Managing Director of the National Roads Authority (NRA), Sulayman Sumareh Janneh, said the roads were built to high standards, incorporating culverts and road furniture that meet international standards.

He noted that the network includes seven intersections with the South Bank Road, a major junction with the Trans-Gambia corridor, and connections extending towards The Gambia’s southern border with Senegal.

The project is expected to strengthen transportation links across Kiang Kabada, support economic activities and improve mobility for communities in the region.
