Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Work Yet to Reach Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers

Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Work Yet to Reach Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers

The 750-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is progressing in phases, with work reported along parts of the Lagos corridor and other sections undergoing construction or procurement. Section 1, linking Victoria Island to the Lekki Deep Seaport area, is said to be largely complete up to Eleko Junction. Construction is also reported to be advancing towards the Ogun border, while earthworks and route alignment continue on sections in Ogun and Ondo. Work has also been reported in Akwa Ibom and Cross River. The planned corridors through Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers are yet to begin major construction, with procurement and scheduling still pending.

With construction, procurement, and the Lagos corridor all moving at different stages, what timeline should people use to judge progress toward Calabar?

Would it help to assess progress section by section, rather than expecting one single completion timeline?

The phased approach explains why the project can look active in Lagos while communities farther along the route have not seen work yet.

"Progressing in phases" is fair, but the headline gap matters: a coastal highway should not be assessed mainly by activity around Lagos.

Regular section-by-section updates on construction, procurement, and expected start dates would make it easier for residents to follow the project realistically.
