Tragédie sur l'autoroute côtière Dakar - Tivaouane - Saint-Louis : La sécurité sur l'emprise du projet au centre des préoccupations
The death by drowning last week of a 12-year-old boy in a water retention basin in Ndome, a village in the commune of Pire, in the department of Tivaouane, has angered the population, who have warned of "the danger posed by the water retention basins dug as part of the construction of the Dakar - Tivaouane - Saint-Louis motorway, which frequently attract children in search of coolness."
These communities consider their depth, combined with the lack of signage and safety fencing, to make them particularly dangerous. Moreover, they report cases of drowning in localities crossed by the motorway route.
Thus, gathered in Pire Goureye, local elected officials, managers of the Arezki company, health professionals and managers of the Dakar - Tivaouane - Saint-Louis highway project called for a strengthening of technical safety around the basins and continued awareness-raising among communities.
This weekend, as part of the work on section 1 Dakar - Mecké (120 km) / lot 3-2 Tivaouane - Mecké (23 km), the official launch of the awareness program for local populations and project staff took place.
Abdoulaye Barro, national secretary general of community health actors in Senegal, informed about the holding of training sessions for "relays in the impacted area for awareness-raising and communication activities with a view to changing the behavior of the populations living along the coastal highway."
According to him, themes were also developed around HIV/AIDS, malaria, environmental protection, road safety, girls' education and gender-based violence.

J'invite les nouvelles autorités à s'engager dans ce sens. A défaut on attend le retour de Macky.
Heureusement que Macky Sall avait laissé des chantiers en cours d'exécution.
Eux ils sont préoccupés à s'enrichir, à augmenter les montants des fonds politiques, à bien se sucrer, à grossir et à servir leurs militants pendant que les populations galèrent.
C'est la Sonko Formula
Vivement que ces grands chantiers se finalisent et que le nouveau régime puisse entamer d’autres comme le Ter Aidb-mbour-Thies et l’autoroute à péage jusqu’à Tambacounda car ceci ne profite qu’à notre peuple
