Orange Island continues to grow. We recently recorded an important milestone of completing 84 hectares which is 56% of the Island land mass.

Access Road

The long sought after access road that links the Freedom Road to the Island is gradually taking shape. A delay in reaching agreement with the neighbouring Lekki Foreshore on the alignment of the road slowed down the execution. Two dredgers are now dedicated to pumping sand to the access road. One dredger is working from the northern axis from the freedom road while the second dredger from near the southern tip of the Island. The access road should be completed in the first quarter of 2016.
