Barrow Pledges To Construct 3-Lane Dual Carriageway From Fajara To Bullock

President Adama Barrow has promised to build a dual carriageway with three lanes from Kairaba Avenue to Bullock in Foñi if elected for a third term in office in December. He said his next five years in office will spur unprecedented development unseen in the history of The Gambia.

Addressing a rally at the Tallinding ‘Buffer Zone’ Recreational Grounds following the filing of his nomination papers at the IEC on Tuesday, Barrow said he was overwhelmed by the immense support and love demonstrated by his supporters and revealed that he also has surprises for them.

“From 2027 to 2031, Gambians will witness a massive development never seen before in the history of The Gambia. Upon my re-election, every Gambian will have access to safe drinking water. And we are going to construct 1,600 kilometres of roads. This is already studied and within one month, I am going to lay the foundation for the work to commence on expanding Kairaba Avenue. We will make it a dual carriage, with three lanes on each side,” Barrow said.

He said the Westfield – Kairaba Avenue which stretches up to Fajara will be expanded to a dual carriage with three lanes. This road, he added, will also cut through Bakau to Cape Point and will join with the Banjul Highway.

President Barrow also pledged to construct a dual carriage from the Old Yundum airport junction to Foñi Bullock.

He said he will do his utmost to repay Gambians for the immense support they accorded him. Barrow expressed his confidence that he will win the December election dismissing any threats from the opposition. He said all “serious parties” are part of the NPP grand coalition declaring the election as “game over”.
