Will significant construction on the Lagos-Calabar highway be completed by end of 2026?

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Nigerian history, spanning approximately 700 kilometres across multiple coastal states. Predict whether substantial construction milestones -- defined as at least 40 percent of the total route being paved and usable -- will be achieved by December 2026. Consider contractor capacity, funding disbursement, land acquisition challenges, environmental assessments, and the rainy season construction slowdowns that historically delay Nigerian infrastructure projects.
