Madar (Nouakchott) - Mauritania's Minister of Equipment and Transport made a field visit on Saturday, 14 November 2026, to several road structures and projects under construction in the Hodh Charghi region, to check progress and compliance with technical standards and deadlines, according to the Mauritanian News Agency (AMI).
The minister began by inspecting work on the two sections linking the departments of Nema and Nbeiket Lehwach, where those overseeing the works briefed him on progress and the remaining stages, according to the same source.
He urged the bodies in charge of the two sections to redouble their efforts and speed up implementation in order to make up for the delay recorded on the road, and to complete it to the required technical specifications and within the set deadlines.
He was also briefed on preparations to start work on the second section of the road linking the departments of Amourj and Adel Bagrou, saying this section has been awarded to a new contractor expected to complete the work within no more than ten months, and stressed strict compliance with the specifications and contractual deadlines.
The minister ended his tour by inspecting a recently completed bridge in the Nema department, which, according to the agency, should ease traffic and better connect surrounding areas, particularly during the rainy season.
The president of the Hodh Charghi Region stressed the strategic importance of road infrastructure in opening up remote areas, linking communities and boosting economic activity.
