Although the national road N 7 ends in the city of Kédougou , 55 km away , the gap to the Malian national road N24 across the border river Falémé near Koundam was made with an asphalt leading over Saraya as part of the transcontinental highway project Dakar-N'Djamena-Highway Autoroute closed. This means that Saraya has the best possible connection to the national trunk road network.
