About this development
Construction of a transnational Dakar-Lagos Highway, also known as the Trans-West African Coastal Highway or Trans-African Highway 7 (TAH 7) on the coastal corridor from Dakar to Lagos, spanning multiple countries in Dakar, Senegal, Bingerville, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and Lagos Nigeria. Estimated Cost: The Abidjan-Lagos section is valued at approximately $15.6 billion. The broader Dakar-Lagos Corridor’s cost is not fully specified. Nigeria secured a $747 million loan for its section. Scope of works: Construction of a predominantly two-lane highway with four-lane and six-lane sections, including a 1,028-1,080km six-lane (2x3) dual-carriageway for the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor, 63 interchanges, eight border crossing points, and connections to eight major ports. Works involve road paving, reconstruction of existing segments, bridge construction, and integration of feeder roads to landlocked countries (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger). The project includes a Spatial Development Initiative (SDI) for economic hubs and potential railway integration. GPS coordinates for the starting point in Dakar, Senegal, 14.693700, -17.444100.
