The proposed location is around Diamniadio or around Senegambia Bridge.

Why Diamniadio?

Diamniadio is 35 km from Dakar the capital. As its name indicates “Croisement Diamniadio”, it is an intersection connecting not only the country together but also an international intersection towards the surrounding countries like Mauritania, Mall, Guinea and Gambia.

If our goal is to build the first smart village in Senegambia with the objective to promote the concept in West Africa and beyond, what better location to start than “Croisement Diamniadio”, the gateway to the West African highways.

Diamniadio has an important economic role in the region.

Diamniadio’s infrastructure is massive. There are new highways, a new airport, a new mineral terminal in the coastal area. Diamniadio’s socio-economic platform has access to basic infrastructure: water, electricity, sanitation and transportation.

Why Senegambia Bridge?

“Senegambia Bridge” is a part of the Trans African Highways project. It will link and benefit not only Senegal and Gambia, but the whole West African region from Mauritania to Nigeria and eventually the entire African continent.

LOCATION: between Nioro du Rip in Senegal and Farafenni in Gambia.
