“The track laying is the easiest part of the job,” I’m told.

One of the things I’ve noticed with these new rail projects (including #AbujaMetro) is that they do their best to avoid Level Crossings (where a rail line crosses a road and cars have to stop/wait).
Double Track, so this is just one side. Next to this, the second line will be laid.
There’s also going to be a Station in Apapa Harbour.
