Dr. Abubacarr Jawara, CEO of Gambia, Africa, China Holding (GACH), has significantly reduced the cost of basalt in The Gambia by importing directly from Ivory Coast, bypassing Senegal. This move has made basalt more accessible for local construction projects, saving time and money. Jawara praised President Barrow's administration for creating an environment conducive to private investment, which has made such ventures possible.

The Gambia's Minister of Transport, Works and Infrastructure, Ebrima Sillah, has announced that the Hakalang road project is nearing completion, with an inauguration expected by the end of April 2025. The project, which is fully funded by the Gambian government, includes an 85-kilometer road stretch divided into three sections, with approximately 85% of the work already completed. The Minister also visited other ongoing road projects in the country, emphasizing that these roads are linked to essential services like hospitals and schools.

The Ministry of Transport, Works and Infrastructure in Gambia has partnered with the National Roads Authority to sign a contract with AREZKI Company for the construction of the Bertil Harding Highway phase III. The project includes the construction of a new bridge, traffic lights, cameras, and service roads. AREZKI, which also constructed the first two phases of the highway, has already secured 70% of the resources needed for the third phase. The project is part of the Ministry's efforts to oversee the construction of about 500 kilometers of roads across the country.
