Great news for the people of Sandu. His Excellency President Adama Barrow will soon be in Sandu to officially lay the foundation stones for the construction of 97.5km of roads dedicated to our district.
This project is about more than just tar and gravel. It’s about connecting our people, easing the movement of goods and people, improving access to markets, schools and health centers, and opening up Sandu for growth and opportunity. After years of waiting, this is the kind of development that will change daily life for thousands of families.

Sare Fodigeh – Sare Gubu – Nawdeh – Tobichindeh Border - 10 Km

Mbaye K***a via Darsilameh to Touba Sandu - 13.4 Km
Nawdeh – Sare Gubu – Sare Demba – Kuwonku Ba – Changally Chewdo/Langkaddy – Misera – Jakaba – Sare Fodigeh - 21 Km

Darsilameh – Kuwonku – Sare Yerore – Sare Demba Toro – Sare Samba – Barinabeh – Torbichindeh – Wellingara Bakary – Sankabari – Sare Pateh – Nawdeh - 22.3 Km
We thank His Excellency President Adama Barrow and the Government of The Gambia for prioritizing Sandu in the national development agenda. We also thank all partners working to make this a reality.
To the people of Sandu, let’s welcome this moment with pride and unity. Let’s protect the project, cooperate with the teams on the ground, and put community interest above all else. This road belongs to all of us, and its success depends on all of us.
Sandu is moving forward. Let’s move together. 🇬🇲
