In a monumental step towards infrastructural development, the Federal Government has initiated the construction of the long-awaited 700km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Mega Highway. Spearheaded by the renowned Hitech Construction Company, the ambitious project marks a significant milestone in Nigeria's transportation landscape.
Commencing from the bustling metropolis of Lagos, the highway is slated to traverse through key economic hubs, linking Port-Harcourt in Rivers State and culminating in Calabar, Cross Rivers. This strategic route is poised to not only enhance connectivity between major commercial centers but also stimulate economic growth and development across the region.
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Mega Highway holds immense promise as a vital artery for commerce and trade, facilitating smoother movement of goods and services between the southern states. Once completed, it is expected to alleviate congestion on existing road networks and provide a safer, more efficient travel experience for commuters and cargo alike.
This groundbreaking endeavor underscores the government's commitment to infrastructure development and underscores its determination to unlock the full economic potential of Nigeria's coastal regions. As construction progresses, anticipation mounts for the transformational impact this mega highway will have on Nigeria's transportation landscape and broader socio-economic landscape.
