Tarmac from Morroco to The Gambia?

[kentfallen]

A mate of mine tells me it is possible to travel from Western Sahara to Banjul without leaving tarmac?:confused1:

Is it now possible to travel down the West Coast of North Africa to Banjul in The Gambia without leaving tarmac? My experience of African roads is that most of the good ones are remnants from British and French colonial days (mostly built by the military). Most are now falling apart which is a great shame. The Africans simply don't seem to have the interest, funds or knowhow to maintain the things once they are constructed. If this is now possible then let's hope the road is properly maintained in the years to come.
