Senegambia bridge

 * ... that the opening of the Senegambia bridge will eliminate the need for a 400 km diversion to cross the Gambia River when the ferry is out of use? "It used takes truck drivers and other heavy commercial drivers 10 to 20 days waiting for their turn on the ferry ... It will enable those who want to travel from the north of Senegal to its southern region of Casamance ... to avoid having to take a detour of some 400km." (Construction Review)
 * ALT1:... that there is a dispute between two Gambian government agencies over which is entitled to the toll revenue from the Senegambia bridge? "The Gambia Ferries Service and the National Roads Authority are fighting over who should manage the revenue at the newly inaugurated Senegambia Bridge. Both agencies are under the Ministry of Transport, Works and Infrastructure." (Freedom Newspaper)

 * Symbol question.svg Another good Dumelow DYK. No obvious copyvios and the hook is reliably sourced and interesting. My principal gripe is that the article was 1170 bytes before expansion, so should now be at least 5850 bytes, but is only 5732 bytes. Also missing the QPQ.

 * Thanks for the review Ritchie333. I had intended this to be a new article but somebody already started it by the time I had gotten around to it in my sandbox.  I have added 188 new characters which should take it over the line.  I'll try to sort a QPQ shortly, cheers - Dumelow (talk) 09:41, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
