The highway will cross a densely populated district at Pikine Irrégulier Sud and forms part of a wider development programme for the Dakar region. The road will provide a direct route to Diamniadio and the new international airport and will also improve access to the centre of Dakar and the suburbs of Cambérène, Guédiawaye and Thiaroye. 2762 Capita Symonds' Infrastructure PFI/PPP team has been appointed to act for the lenders supporting Société Eiffage de la Nouvelle Autoroute Concédée (SENAC) for the project.
