Project narrative

On October 12, 2021, the Chinese Ambassador to Liberia announced that the Chinese Government would fund the Somalia Drive-Sinkor Road and Bridge in Monrovia Project. The purpose of this project is to build a road from Japan Freeway (previously known as Somalia Drive) to Sinkor in the capital city of Monrovia.

1. AidData assumes for the time being that this project is grant-financed. However, this issue warrants further investigation.
