Expression of Interest For Implementation Of Phase 1 Of The Southern Corridor Road Project: The CoyahKindiaMamou Section, Approximately 170 Kilometers Long

Expression of Interest for Implementation of Phase 1 of the Southern Corridor Road Project: The CoyahKindiaMamou Section, Approximately 170 Kilometers Long The first section of an 855-kilometer corridor that will eventually link Conakry to the Ivorian border via Faranah, Kissidougou, Kérouané, Beyla, and Sinko, this section will be developed into a modern 2x2 lane highway, conforming to international standards, with interchanges, automated toll and weigh stations, rest areas, and comprehensive road safety features. The most heavily used artery in the country, connecting the urban expansion of Greater Conakry with the mining boom in the Forécariah, Kindia, and Beyla regions, the corridor is expected to improve traffic flow, reduce logistics costs, and enhance the agricultural, mining, and tourism potential it traverses. This project illustrates the new infrastructure financing approach adopted by the Government within the framework of the Simandou 2040 Program: innovative mechanisms, such as Public-Private Partnerships with tolls or EPC contracts with financing, which preserve the sustainability of public finances while accelerating the implementation of structuring projects. This approach is made credible by the countrys macroeconomic progress, evidenced by the B+ sovereign rating with a positive outlook awarded by S&P, which enhances Guineas visibility among international investors and financiers.

Collaboration with Guinean-owned companies is encouraged, in line with the local content policy.
