NigeriaRoad Infrastructure
Main span opened for local traffic December 2022, formally inaugurated May 2023; connects Asaba (Delta State) and Onitsha (Anambra State). Bypasses are separately mobilised (~30% as of March 2025) but not yet independently evidenced as a distinct transaction.

Overview
- Location
- Asaba (Delta State) – Onitsha (Anambra State), Nigeria
- Scale / Scope
- Operational benchmark asset, useful for PPP/toll-road market context given the government's publicly stated (but not yet executed) intent to toll it alongside other major roads via the ICRC/Ministry of Works framework. Separately-mobilised bypasses (Asaba-Benin / Enugu-Onitsha links, ~30% mobilisation as of March 2025) are noted here editorially rather than modelled as independent records — their procurement/financing structure is not yet independently evidenced as distinct from the main bridge transaction.
