President Boakai Breaks Ground for US$363.9 Million Western Corridor Highway, Pledges World-Class Standards and Regional Transformation

"This Project will be built to international standards, with climate resilience, enhanced engineering, and a sustainable maintenance framework to serve both present and future generations," the President assured.

The Western Corridor initiative forms part of a broader national infrastructure strategy designed to improve mobility, strengthen regional trade, and accelerate inclusive growth. Key components include the upgrading of the St. Paul Bridge to Klay road (38km dual carriageway), Klay to Bo Waterside (79km single carriageway), Klay to Tubmanburg (22km), Madina to Robertsport (30km), and Voinjama to Kolahun to Mendikorma (86km), totaling 255 kilometers.

President Boakai projected that, alongside the planned Mano River and Kongo corridors, the project will significantly boost cross-border trade and position Liberia as a critical gateway to the West African region.

"This is about dignity and opportunity for our people," he stated, pointing out that, "It opens vital access routes, reduces travel time, lowers transportation costs, and connects communities that have long been isolated."
