List of highways in Sierra Leone
This is a list of major highways in Sierra Leone .
background
The entire Sierra-Leonean road network is 11,555, 11,700 or 11,999 kilometers long and the majority (91 percent) is unpaved. There are no highways (see Autobahn ), although a first highway has been built between Masiaka and Wellington since 2016. This is financed by the People's Republic of China and refinanced through a toll .
history
The first road construction began around 1918, with only individual localities being connected until 1926, especially in what is now Proving Southern . From 1961, far-reaching district connections were built between all the important towns in the country.
Road types
- A-roads are major trunk roads (trunk roads) connecting the capital Freetown with the provincial capitals and other important localities. In 2009, 925 of the 2332 kilometers of roads of this type were asphalted.
- B-roads are connecting roads that mainly connect smaller towns with each other and enable connections to the A-roads. In 2009, only 46 of the 2019 total kilometers were paved.
- F-roads are smaller connecting roads ( English feeder roads ). They are unpaved over their entire length of 4277 kilometers (as of 2009)
- Roads in built-up areas (cities, villages, etc.). In 2009 there were 3,000 kilometers of this, of which only 80 kilometers are asphalt.
Currently (as of 2016), the asphalting and road construction is the same as in 2009. 8555 kilometers are recorded in the National Road System .
Streets are not numbered. The streets are mostly named after endpoints, for example Freetown – Waterloo .
