Train Express Regional

The Train Express Regional (TER) is a proposed rail line in Senegal to ultimately connect Dakar with the Blaise Diagne International Airport. It will be built by French companies Engie and Thales. The contract is valued at €225 million.

Travel time between the city and the airport is expected to be under 50 minutes.

The line will be built in two stages, with the first covering 36 km from the city of Dakar to Diamniadio, while the second stage covering 19 km more to the airport. Construction is expected to take 26 months beginning in the third quarter of 2016, completion in late 2018.
