The management of Landmark Beach Resort has stated that the original right of way designated for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which passes through the Water Corporation Road median, remains unused, undeveloped, and still available for the highway construction.
This information was disclosed in a statement issued by Ms. Elsie Ogianyo, the Brand and Corporate Communications head at Landmark Africa on Wednesday.
The statement clarified issues regarding the planned demolition of the resort for encroachment on the redesigned right of way of the coastal highway, noting that the original 1.5km stretch through the Water Corporation Road median lacks permanent structures, and reverting to this alignment would prevent beach operation disruptions.
Recall that the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, stated in a recent Channels Television interview that the redesign of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, originally including Water Corporation Road but now rerouted along the coastal path, was necessary to preserve the extensive infrastructure along the original route.
