For truck driver Joseph Turay, navigating the 120 km Matotoka-Sefadu road in northeastern Sierra Leone used to be a nightmare. Large vehicles often overturned due to the potholed road surface, leading to fatalities and damage to goods. The road also forms part of the major highway linking Sierra Leone to Guinea and Liberia. Support from the African Development Bank has helped to rehabilitate and expand the road, easing the movement of goods and people in the northern and eastern provinces of Sierra Leone. For now, Turay and the other drivers are still enjoying the novelty of the newly resurfaced road.
