Abstract :This review includes the literature on road transport infrastructure and how it affects economic growth. The main aim is to evaluate the scope and importance of transport infrastructure for economic and social growth. Research has shown that in Nigeria, the construction of road infrastructure is often chosen to meet the practical need of moving people and goods from one point to the other. The article covers a short history of the Nigerian national road network, its emergence and the expansion of Nigerian roads, and the influence of road infrastructure on agriculture and rural development. In addition, healthcare, general social change, and poverty are inclusive as the main components of this review. While this article focuses primarily on road infrastructure, there are few citations to back up points about other forms or modes of transportation. Conclusively, the research indicates a functional link between road infrastructure and economic development.
