Freetown, 6th November 2025- The Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA) has officially launched the reconstruction of the 105-kilometre Kambia–Tomparie–Kamakwie Road, marking the country’s second-largest road infrastructure project to date.
Funded by the Islamic Development Bank, the initiative was formally announced by SLRA Director General, Ing. Alfred Jalil Momodu, during a strategic workshop held at Country Lodge Hotel in Freetown. The event brought together key stakeholders to align on financial procedures and fast-track implementation.
The road project is expected to significantly enhance national connectivity, stimulate economic growth, and support the government’s flagship Feed Salone initiative. A dedicated Project Implementation Unit has been established to oversee execution, and contractors have confirmed that the road is engineered to last over 27 years.
Representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Works, and the Islamic Development Bank lauded the project’s strategic importance, emphasizing its potential to unlock agricultural productivity and economic opportunities across the region.
Construction is scheduled to commence shortly.
