The great commitment and dedication of the Director General of the Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA), Ing. Alfred Jilal Momodu, coupled with his astute leadership, has given a new outlook to the Authority through the revamping of the country's road sector.

Since Ing. Alfred Jalil Momodu took over the leadership of SLRA, Sierra Leoneans started seeing remarkable development in Freetown regarding the maintenance of main roads and streets that were seriously eroded during the heavy downpours. 

Since SLRA and road construction companies under government contracts started the maintenance work a few months ago, many of the affected roads and streets are now in good condition.

The Director General, who believes in teamwork and motivation for workers, is held in high esteem by staff members, both junior and senior, because of his good interpersonal relations with them and his passion to make the Authority more effective with the support of the government and our development partners.

In the nook and cranny of Sierra Leone, citizens and other nationals are moved by the unprecedented masive road works going on across the country, notably, the trunk roads leading to district Headquarters.

Besides, the ongoing construction of new massive two-lane bridges in many parts of the country where ferries had been used to cross those troubling rivers even in the rains.

Under the leadership of Ing. Alfred Jalil Momodu, five-cable-ferry crossing points are under construction as two-lane modern bridges.

The bridges under construction are the Manowa Ferry Bridge in Kailahun District, the Tompare Ferry Bridge in Karene District, the Gendema Ferry Bridge in Kenema District, the Senehun/Mattru Ferry Bridge in Bonthe District, and the Bumpeh Gao Bridge in Bo District.

Apart from the two-lane modern bridges under construction, construction works on another four ferry crossing points in Sierra Leone will commence soon.

Regarding the revamping of roads in the country, the following roads are currently under massive construction: Kabala/Falaba Road, Kailahun Town/Buedu Road, the soon to be launched Buedu/Koindu Road, the Kailahun Township Road, the over 25km Kenema City Roads, the four-lane Penisular 

Road, Goderish to Tokeh, the Waterloo Township Roads, the Western Area Township Roads, the Makoloh to Mabang Road towards Moyamba, the almost completed Pujehun Road, the Kono/Guinea Road, the Bonthe Road Phase 2 Kpetema Mattru Road in Bonthe, the Bonthe Road Phase 1 Tinkonko Kpetema Road in Bonthe, the Tihun Township Road in Bonthe, among several others.

The rapid road infrastructural development across the country, which is being monitored by SLRA, under the dynamic, proactive, and committed leadership of Ing. Alfred Jalil Momodu, whose penchant has grown in taking the Authority to higher height.
