The 1,028-kilometre six-lane dual carriageway Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Project has entered final stage, the ECOWAS Commission has said.
This became feasible when key professionals from the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Member States—Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria met in Abidjan -Côte d’Ivoire to finalize the feasibility and detailed technical design studies for the transformative Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Project.
According to ECOWAS on Thursday in a press release, the high-level meeting brought together representatives from the ECOWAS Commission, led by Mr. Chris Appiah, Director of the Transport Directorate, as well as the African Development Bank (AfDB) and other potential financiers.
The gathering marked a significant milestone in the preparation phase of the 1,028-kilometre six-lane dual carriageway that will stretch from Bingerville in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, to Eric Moore in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway is poised to become a major socio-economic artery for West Africa, passing through more than 25 cities and connecting five borders.
The highway is expected to significantly boost intra-regional trade, improve transport efficiency, enhance tourism, and deepen regional integration among ECOWAS Member States.
