The Abidjan – Lagos Corridor is a subset of the longer Dakar-Lagos Corridor, which is part of the Trans African Highway Network within the ECOWAS region. It covers a distance of 1,028km and eight (8) border crossings from Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. The objective of the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Study is to undertake all the necessary studies on the hard and soft aspects necessary for the effective implementation, operations, and economic development of the corridor, primarily between the two nodes i.e. Abidjan and Lagos. The new highway will be a six-lane (3-lane dual) carriageway highway and the study to be undertaken will be based on one main principle. It shall primarily follow a new alignment, incorporating sections of the existing alignment, where necessary, to ensure route optimization.
