Project Routing

THE PROJECT ROUTING (ROUTE 1, 2, 3, and 6 CORRIDORS)

The Route 1 Corridor acts as an Integrated Service Corridor from Ibaka (Akwa Ibom State) to Makau (Katsina State) through Abia State,Ebonyi State, Enugu State, Benue State, Nasarawa State, Abuja – FCT, Kaduna State, Kano State, and Nasarawa State.

The Route 2 Corridor acts as an Integrated Service Corridor from the new Ilaje deep-sea port (Ondo State) to Marte (Borno State)

The Route 3 Corridor connects Bayelsa State to Enugu State through Rivers State, Anambra State, and Imo State and acts as an Integrated Niger-Delta States Service Corridor.

The Route 6 Corridor acts as an Integrated Service Corridor from Sankache (FCT) to Komni (Adamawa State).

Endless Development of 12 States and Impact on an Additional Eight States from North to South.

The Corridor is designed to enable for the population of the Route 1 Corridor to double from 75 million to 170 million by 2050.

Route 1’s straight-line route is 987 km, with an elevation profile that shows a Min./Avg./Max. Elevation of 0/375/756m, an Elev. Gain / Loss of 912m / -445m, a Max Slope of 0.4% / -0.1%, and an Avg. Slope of 0.2% / -0.1%, as shown below.

The existing Route 1 Corridor road system (below) covers an effective distance of 1,265 Km with an improved track of 1,137 Km to show an effective elevation profile with a Min./Avg./Max. Elevation of 0/326/639 m, an Elev. Gain / Loss of 1,140m / -685m, a Max Slope of 1.6% / -0.7% and an Avg. Slope of 0.2% / –

The major aim, in close coordination with SYSTRA, will be to optimize the optimal tracing of Route 1 inside the Route 1 Corridor. The optimization must consider the overall National, Regional, and Local demands of Route 1, including Transportation, Commercial, Industrial, and Population elements.

Note Below: Special consideration must be given to geological soil analysis, as well as flood-prone locations, tunnels, and bridges as needed.
