Senegambia Bridge is a vital economic and strategic link connecting The Gambia and Senegal.

SENEGAMBIA BRIDGE

Located between Senegal and The Gambia, the bridge serves as a crucial corridor for trade and transportation between Dakar and Lagos, fostering regional integration within ECOWAS. The bridge’s development was a priority at both national and regional levels, aiming to boost economic opportunities and strengthen trade ties. Completed in January 2019, the Senegambia Bridge has significantly enhanced connectivity and economic prospects in the region.

Management

TBC Ltd holds the exclusive concession rights to collect tolls, upgrade, operate, and maintain the Senegambia Bridge, along with investing in any necessary infrastructure to ensure smooth operations. The concession spans a 25-year period and was initiated as part of Africa50’s innovative Asset Recycling Programme.
Through this programme, the Government of The Gambia unlocks capital tied up in state-owned infrastructure by transferring the rights to operate and manage these assets to credible private partners in exchange for fair compensation. TBC Ltd is a joint venture, with Africa50 owning 87.5% of the company, while the Government of The Gambia holds a 12.5% stake.
