Trans-Gambia Bridge Inaugurated
跨岡比亞大橋揭幕
On January 21, after decades of delays, the leaders of Senegal and The Gambia inaugurated a new bridge crossing over the River Gambia. The project was originally designed in the 1970s, however ongoing regional conflict delayed the construction until 2015. Without a bridge, those who wanted to travel from northern Senegal to the southern Senegalese province of Casamance had to either take an unreliable ferry or a long detour around the small country of The Gambia. The long-awaited bridge will allow for much faster delivery of goods and services. The bridge is also expected to help improve social relations in West Africa. The toll-bridge, which is now open for cars, will open to transport vehicles by July.
1月21日，經過幾十年的延遲后，塞內加爾和岡比亞的領導人揭幕了橫跨岡比亞河的一架新橋。該項目最初設計于20世紀70年代，但不斷爆發的地區沖突將施工推遲至了2015年。大橋建成之前，想從北塞內加爾到南塞內加爾卡薩芒斯省的人要么得乘坐沒有安全保障的渡船，要么得圍著小國家岡比亞繞一大圈。人們期盼已久的大橋會讓貨物和服務運輸更為迅捷。這座大橋還可能有助于改善西非的社會關系。這架收費橋現在僅對轎車開放，并于七月前向運輸車輛開放。
