Calum's Road in The Gambia will be built between the remote township of Kudang 150 miles up the Gambia River in West Africa and the local market town and administrative centre of Kuntaur 12 miles away.

The current "road" is no more than the eroded vestige of a colonial trace and during the wet season it's bedding has subsided so much that it is covered by several feet of water. The overworked culverts are mostly beyond repair. The wheel tracks have become small lagoons. This is no longer a road requiring repair, it's a road that needs to be completely replaced.
