Bargny, Senegal

Bargny (also, Bargny-Gouddau and Bargny Gouddou) is a settlement and urban commune in Senegal. It is located in a somewhat sheltered bay about 15 km to the east of the capital, Dakar.

Environment

The community has a number of severe environmental threats, including coastal erosion and contamination from economic projects and industries in the community.

Industries

Cement

The town holds one of the largest cement factories in West Africa. Created in 1984, the factory creates toxic dust which exposes local residents to contamination.

Transport

Bargny is the site of a proposed deep water port for mineral exports, such as iron ore.

The railway following the coast from Dakar heads inland from this point to Thiès.

In 2016, construction of the Train Express Regional started.

Power

A coal-fired power station, the Sendou power station, was opened in 2018.
