Authorities have launched an operation to address the ongoing congestion at Serrekunda Market, a key commercial hub.
The initiative, dubbed “Operation Clear the Road,” aims to free up traffic-clogged streets by removing unauthorized vendors, parked vehicles, and other obstructions that have long caused delays and safety concerns.
Local officials stated that the market’s narrow roads have become increasingly difficult to navigate, impacting not only traffic flow but also the ability of emergency services to reach those in need.
The operation is expected to bring relief to both drivers and pedestrians who frequent the area daily.
While some vendors have expressed concerns about the impact on their livelihoods, authorities assure that designated spaces will be made available to those affected. The effort is part of a broader strategy to improve safety and accessibility at one of the busiest markets in the region.
