President Macky Sall, accompanied by the Chinese ambassador to Dakar, Xiao Han, inaugurated the Foundiougne Toll Bridge on Saturday.
The construction of the 45 billion CFA francs (about 77 million USD) worth of infrastructure, launched in February 2018, was financed by the State of Senegal and Eximbank of China.
In a tweet on Sunday, the President of the Republic expressed his joy in naming the new bridge of Foundiougne to Nelson Mandela. Macky Sall justifies his choice by the friendship between the peoples of Africa.
This bridge will shorten the journey to Gambia and Casamance (South) but also play an essential role in opening up and developing the potential of the department of Foundiougne.
