When travelling to Andapa, up and above the road to the left at S 14°37.968' E049°42.404 and at an altitude of 500 metres, a monument built by the Italian contractor that were constructing the road between Andapa and Sambava in mid-1960 can be seen.
The road took six years to complete including the construction of heavy bridges crossing rivers and valleys. The circular arm-shaped part of the monument signifies the strength of the porters carrying heavy equipment and materials and the upwards pointing needle represents the way ahead.
