Madar (Nouakchott) - Mauritania's Minister of Equipment and Transport on Wednesday, 11 November 2026 inspected six road routes under construction in Nouakchott's three regions as part of the roads and access component, the Mauritanian News Agency (AMI) reported.
The routes visited are spread across Nouakchott West, Nouakchott South and Nouakchott North. They include links to the ring road and roads intended to ease traffic flow and open up access to several residential neighbourhoods, according to the agency.
In a statement to AMI, the minister said the visit was part of monitoring the roads and access component of the second emergency programme for the development of Nouakchott, adding that work has already begun on some projects and that further sites will be opened in all three regions.
He stressed the need to coordinate with the bodies in charge of water, electricity and telecommunications networks and to take the necessary measures to protect them from any damage caused by the works, so that the projects meet the required technical standards.
The minister was accompanied by administrative and security authorities from the three Nouakchott regions and officials from the sector, AMI said.
