The Federal Government says the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project will be reviewed from 10 to six lanes and at a lower cost.

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

Umahi said that the review had become necessary because of variations in designs and interventions such as evacuation of refuse of 10 metres depth and backfilling.

He also cited salvaging of some structures by the magnanimity of President Bola Tinubu.

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 750km 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 20km 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.
