AfDB, ECOWAS begin joint identification missions with member states to discuss financing Abidjan-Lagos Highway

Africa

Following the completion of the economic and technical studies for the six-lane dual carriage supranational Abidjan-Lagos corridor highway, the project has advanced to the investment stage, and the realization of visionary economic corridor is in clear sight.

THIS flagship regional economic corridor project includes the construction of a Highway extending over 1028 km linking the main economic centers of West Africa, namely Abidjan, Accra, Lomé, Cotonou and Lagos.

It will open up corridor-wide economic centers (industrial, manufacturing and related economic zones, logistical hubs,) to support regional integration, tourism, and industrialization through corridor value chains with enhanced production capacity; as well as interventions to enhance the free movement of trade and transport long the corridor.
