    FG Adjusts Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Reduces Road To Six Lanes

    The Federal Government announced that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project will be revised from ten lanes to six lanes and will be undertaken at a lower cost.

    The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, made the announcement during a tour of the highway on Friday.

    He stated that the revision will soon be presented to the Federal Executive Council.

    Umahi explained that the review has become necessary due to design variations and interventions, such as the removal of refuse at a depth of ten meters and backfilling.

    He also mentioned that President Bola Tinubu’s generosity had allowed for the salvaging of certain structures.

    Umahi said, “What we are going to do is that we are going to use part of that land to put a service lane for them.

    “We are going to be reviewing this contract to accommodate what is not there. There are places like that Landmark where we have to build a retaining wall.”

    He added that the entire 750 km stretch of the road would be illuminated with solar streetlights with security cameras and points, as well as trees to protect the road and give aesthetics.

    Umahi gave the assurance that 20 km of the first section of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway would be among other critical road projects to be inaugurated by May 29, 2026.

    “We have directed controllers to concentrate on a number of projects.

    “At least a minimum of three projects must be commissioned,” Umahi said.

    NAN reports that the minister was accompanied by the Federal Controller Works in Lagos State, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, and other officials of the Ministry of Works. (NAN)
