Planning for West Africa's first PPP motorway deal is now moving forward and construction work is due to begin this summer. The €200 million Toll Highway will run 25km from Dakar, the capital of Senegal, towards the country's new international airport (AIBD) at Diass and the economic development gateway at Diamniadio. 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. Capita Symonds is carrying out technical and traffic audits of the design and construction proposals on behalf of the lenders as well as reviewing the proposed operation and life cycle maintenance of the completed road.
