In a major step towards enhancing the Kanifing municipal area’s infrastructure, the Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC), in collaboration with the National Road Authority and various stakeholders, successfully concluded a two-day site visit for the proposed roads under the Kanifing Municipal Road Network Project (KMRNP) on January 16th and 17th, 2024.
Site Visit Highlights:
Deputy Mayor Madam Binta Jammeh-Jallow and Mr. Paa Sait Ceesay, the Chief Executive Officer, led the delegation to inspect twelve strategic roads and the Bakau drainage systems. The comprehensive visit aimed to address the poor state of identified roads and improve the condition of Bakau drainage, ultimately alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing the health safety of residents.
Flagship Project Funding:
This flagship project, exclusively funded by the KMC, targets the revitalization of key roads and drainage systems. The strategic development is geared towards providing alternative routes to decongest traffic on main roads, ensuring smoother transportation for the community.
Upcoming Project Milestones:
As part of the next steps, the KMC will initiate the project’s execution once a contractor is selected in accordance with procurement regulations. The groundbreaking initiative is set to significantly improve the local infrastructure, benefitting residents and commuters alike.
Gratitude to Stakeholders:
The Kanifing Municipal Council expresses profound gratitude to all stakeholders, including Nawec, NEA, NRA, MECCNAR, Physical Planning, NAM Bundung Constituency, and the KMC Contracts Committee members. Despite their busy schedules, their participation in the site visit provided invaluable insights and contributions.
