The road is also economically important for Senegal, in which it is designated as the N4 road. The Gambia is an elongated state forming a country that is mostly situated in Senegal (but not an enclave, as it also borders the Atlantic Ocean). The Gambia almost separates the Casamance region from the remainder of Senegal.
