“The project involves creating an electrified double track between Dakar and AIBD airport, with a first section as far as Diamniadio (38km) and a 2nd section as far as AIBD (17km). The project also includes the rehabilitation of the metric track between the port of Dakar and Sébikotane (41 km), and the construction of 3 stations and 8 intermediate stops, as well as a maintenance and storage site (SMR) with a control and command post (PCC) and an infrastructure maintenance site (SMI). It will serve 14 stations on the route between Dakar and AIBD in 50 minutes at 160 km/h, with a capacity of 500 and 1000 seats depending on the type of train.
