In Togo, the technical studies for the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor highway project have been finalized. This extensive route, exceeding 1,000 km, will traverse five West African nations, setting the stage for the upcoming construction phase.
This development was highlighted by an ECOWAS mission, led by David Nwedu, which visited Togo from April 2 to April 10, 2025. The mission’s goal is to enhance communication and raise awareness about the project among local communities, particularly in Noépé, Tsévié, and Agoméglozou.
“We are engaging with the communities to outline the project’s next steps and to address their concerns,” stated David Nwedu, who is responsible for communication and visibility regarding the Abidjan-Lagos corridor highway project.

While specific start dates are yet to be determined, the route in Togo will commence at Noépé, near the Ghana border, and will pass through Kovié, Tsévié, Tabligbo, and Afagnan, reaching the Mono River at the Beninese border. According to engineer Nodoh Wattara, the planned infrastructure will feature a two-lane expressway, complete with three interchanges and strategically placed bridges.
It is important to note that this corridor is a key initiative within the ECOWAS Infrastructure Development Program. The current alignment of this vital roadway connects the major economic hubs of the five countries, including Abidjan, Accra, Cotonou, Lomé, and Lagos, and is responsible for nearly 75% of trade activities in the subregion.
