Parliament Approves $148.2 Million Mabang-Moyamba-Gbagbatok Road Project
Umu Bah The Parliament of Sierra Leone has approved a $148.2 million road construction project spanning 86 kilometers from Mabang Bridge to Moyamba Town and Gbagbatok, marking a significant step in the nation’s infrastructure development.
The three-year project, set to begin in March 2025 and conclude by 2028, will be executed by Citra Firm, a Burkinabe company. It includes the construction of hotels, entertainment facilities, and parks along the route, enhancing travel comfort.
Operated under a Build & Transfer model, the government will manage tolls and worker payments, with the potential for the road to become toll-free within two to three years if payments are completed.
The initiative promises economic growth through improved transportation, trade facilitation, and alternative vehicle routes.
It is also expected to generate substantial employment opportunities for Sierra Leoneans. Both APC and SLPP MPs have expressed strong support, highlighting the project’s transformative impact on the country’s infrastructure and local economies

Praise God
Please papa Government take note from Koribondo road to Torma Bum
Me me me me me must stop by Sierra Leoneans leadership. How much is the difference between to build the bridge and that road, at the point of entering to the city from the Airport? That bridge will lessing the over population of the city and increase the land value of lungi, bring a lot of jobs both ministry lands and building construction marketing areas. What is the population living in that area spending 148.2 Millions? Think and grow rich is my advice to you all politicians
There’s another strategic road linking the north and south from Matotoka to Bo having great potential to the country economy. But it’s remaining to be as temne people’s area. Nothing else. Until a leader comes that has both parents from the both sides? Come on let’s think development and stop pointing fingers at each other. Very sad 😢😢😭. Don’t get me wrong I’m not against the construction of that road. But spreading the development of the nation not only one side as Sierra Leoneans.
