Construction is progressing on Nigeria’s ambitious $10 billion Coastal Highway, which aims to enhance connectivity between the South East and South West regions. Two key sections are currently under development: a 123km concrete road in Ebonyi State linking Ndibe Beach to Mbeke Ishieke and a 65km stretch in Akwa Ibom State. The full 750km route will connect Lagos to Calabar and integrate with Nigeria’s broader road network, including links to Abuja. Simultaneously, three flyovers in Warri, Delta State, are being upgraded by Julius Berger, with completion expected in late 2025. This package also involves widening roads, building pedestrian bridges and adding a cloverleaf junction to improve traffic flow and accessibility. These developments are seen as key drivers of economic growth and regional integration, significantly improving transport infrastructure and mobility in southern Nigeria.
