Louis Berger is heading a consortium that will oversee a key road rebuilding project in Senegal. The package of works was awarded to the consortium by the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA). The work is for the third phase of the Ziguinchor-Tanaff-Kolda-Velingara section of National Highway 6. Work associated with this project brings the total value of consultancy services delivered by the consortium over the three project phases to nearly US$9.4 million.

The country is currently undergoing a major programme of works. The new Abdoul Diallo Bridge forms part of the 252km road linking Kolda and Ziguinchor to the west and Tambacounda to the east of the country.

In earlier phases of the project, which started in 2010, Louis Berger drafted a resettlement action plan, prepared tender documents and provided technical assistance during procurement processes. Senegal’s road rehabilitation program is funded by the 2707 Millennium Challenge Corporation’s $540 million, five year MCA Senegal initiative, which aims to reduce poverty in the country through strong and sustainable economic growth.
