Rehabilitation commence on Lagos-Badagry expressway

Stating from Monday, October 18, 2021, the diversion of traffic at Alafia Bridge along Lagos-Badagry Expressway will commence, says Dr Frederic Oladeinde.

 

The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, stated that the diversion is to enable emergency repair works at the failed section of the bridge.

 

The Commissioner explained that vehicles heading towards Mile 2 will be diverted to Tokosi Street/Kekere Ekun axis to link Baale Road inwards Alhaji Opere Street and connect Odiche Street to access the service lane inbound Mile 2 during the reconstruction.

 

“In the same vein, the Commissioner advised motorists heading towards Apapa-Oshodi Expressway to make a turn at Orile Bus Stop/Baale Road and connect Ogungbesan Street, after Coker Bridge to access Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway for further journey to their various routes.
He stressed that heavy-duty trucks would be diverted to the existing carriageway.

 

In addition, the earlier mentioned diversion routes were designed to cater for light/smaller vehicles, hence will not be able to accommodate large vehicles like trucks,” the statement said.

 

Oladeinde, therefore, appealed to motorists and road users to cooperate with the State Traffic Management Authority during the construction period to minimise any inconvenience.

 

The Lagos State Ministry of Transport is the state government ministry, charged with the responsibility to plan, devise and implement the state policies on transportation.
