The Bodo-Bonny Road project in Rivers State, Nigeria, was revived after a tripartite funding arrangement was established between the Federal Government, Nigeria LNG (NLNG), and Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. Following initial limited progress, full construction commenced, which includes major bridges over challenging terrains.

However, the project faced delays due to engineering complexities, funding gaps, inflation, and design changes, leading to a significant upward review of costs. After the Federal Executive Council approved a cost increase, construction resumed at full pace. The road has been officially opened to light vehicles, marking a significant milestone after years of isolation, with unrestricted access for heavy trucks expected upon project completion.
