Road infrastructure has been undergoing sustained modernization for several years, transforming the face of Lomé, the capital, and the country's interior. More than 680 billion CFA francs have been invested in this development sector.

The country has three road corridors. National Road No. 1, 746 km long, crosses the country from north to south and is the country's main road axis. The second corridor is the Lomé-Hillacondji road, approximately 53 km long, which forms part of the 1,022 km Abidjan–Lagos corridor. The third corridor is the UEMOA Community Road CU19, Nyamassila – Bagou – Goubi – Kambolé – Balanka – Benin border, 180 km long. The ambition is to reach 60% of paved roads by 2025, through projects to rehabilitate the development corridor, construct and rehabilitate cross-country roads, and open up access.

Regarding the development corridor, the government has been undertaking, since February 28, 2021, the development and modernization work on the Avépozo-Aneho road, a section of approximately 20 km that constitutes an important part of the Abidjan-Lagos coastal corridor, through a public-private partnership. Ultimately, the width of the road will increase from 10 to 24 meters. Nearly 96.543 billion are being disbursed for the construction of the structure, which includes water drainage, lighting, signage, and the protection of the Togolese coast.

In the same vein, the construction of the Unity motorway (Lomé-Cinkassé) and the development of sections of national road no. 1, notably Aouda-Kara and Sarakawa-Kantè, are planned.

The Head of State calls for the construction and rehabilitation of the country's cross-country roads to further facilitate access to markets for economic actors, particularly rural residents. Created in 2012, the Autonomous Road Maintenance Financing Company (SAFER) is responsible for road maintenance. The length of road covered by SAFER operations is constantly increasing. From 900 km in 2012, it increased to 1,335 km in 2014 and to 2,194 km in 2017. Road transport remains the mode of transport in Togo that accounts for more than 901,000 tons of intercity traffic.

The Unity Highway
This major project contributes to the logistics corridor, facilitates access to hinterland countries, and strengthens Togo's strategic positioning. The Lomé-Cinkassé highway will be completed in 2022. The Lomé-Ouagadougou corridor is one of the region's key routes for connecting landlocked countries to the sea.
The dualization of the Unity Highway aims to ensure traffic flow and the development of trade from the port of Lomé by reducing time and costs along the corridor. This project is part of Togo's vision to be a logistics center of excellence in the West African sub-region. Estimated at a total cost of more than $600 million US dollars (more than 330 billion FCFA), this project of nearly 700 km constitutes one of the axes of the government's 2025 roadmap. The work is managed by Arise, a subsidiary of OLAM, in partnership with the Africa Finance Corporation.
