The Lagos-Badagry Expressway is the local name for the Nigerian section of the Trans-West African Coastal Highway. The expressway connects Lagos, Nigeria with Dakar, Senegal.
Extensive reconstruction of the Lagos portion of the expressway began in 2010. When those renovations are completed the Lagos portion of the expressway will be widened from four lanes to ten lanes for road vehicles and a new mass transit line will operate in the median. Two of the expressway’s lanes are intended to be exclusively used by the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit System.
Lagos -Badagry Expressway is the major route or road leading to Nigeria’s biggest border station, which connects Nigeria to many other Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries including Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast.
The construction of the road was awarded through the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) in 2019 to WIZCHINO Engineering LTD which flagged off the repair and maintenance works on part of the Lagos-Badagry expressway amidst excitement from road users.
