The Lagos State Government has commenced planning for an eight-month road rehabilitation project on the Lekki-Ajah corridor, scheduled to run from November 15, 2025, to July 15, 2026.
This was disclosed by the State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, in a statement made available to newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday.
According to Osiyemi, the project is already underway with preliminary works in progress and will be carried out in two phases to ease traffic flow.
“Phase 1: Lekki first toll gate to Lekki second toll gate, work will be done in seven sections, during the construction, a lane out of the two lanes will be closed while motorists will use the second lane.
“When the closed lane is completed, work will shift to the other lane, and during this phase, motorists going to Lekki/Ajah will have through fare,” he said.
He explained that during the second phase, the stretch from the Lekki second toll gate to the Ajah under-bridge would be worked on in four sections.
“Motorists from Ajah inward Lekki will be diverted to one lane while repairs are ongoing on the other lane.
“When the first lane is completed, work will move to the second lane.
“During this phase, motorists heading towards Ajah will have continuous movement,” he said.
The commissioner advised motorists to be patient and follow traffic directions, as some sections of the road would be partially closed during the repair period.
According to him, the repairs are part of the state government’s efforts to improve road quality and ease traffic flow.
