Ahead of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, Senegal’s Ministry of Land and Air Transport and CETUD announced road closures, diversions and parking restrictions on Corniche Ouest and in Saly and Ngaparou. On Corniche Ouest, closures are scheduled at various times from November 3 to 10, including overnight periods and interruptions lasting as long as 18 hours. Presented by Chief Police Commissioner Idrissa Thiandoum, the plan stems from Prefectural Order No. 393 of October 21, 2026, and is intended to facilitate equipment installation, athlete training and events, particularly cycling. Diversion routes have been set for traffic between Ngor, the Almadies and the city centre.
