The Lagos State Government on Tuesday announced that rehabilitation works on a 20-kilometre stretch of the Lekki–Epe Expressway will commence on Sunday and run for about 64 days, with traffic management to be carried out in phases across key intersections.

The state Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, during a tour of the corridor, said traffic control during the rehabilitation would focus on specific intersections rather than shutting down the entire corridor at once.

According to Vanguard, he explained that the first phase, tagged Intersection One, would run from Chevron to Igbo-Efon, with work to be carried out on the Lagos-bound carriageway using a structured eight-intersection phased approach.

“To facilitate construction while maintaining vehicular movement, the Lagos-bound carriageway will be closed in segments,” Osiyemi said.

He added that traffic would be diverted to the Epe-bound carriageway through a dynamic lane-sharing system, particularly during the morning peak period from 4.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m.

According to him, two lanes would be made available to motorists on the Lagos-bound carriageway, while one lane would be accessible on the Epe-bound side.

“Road shoulders on the Epe-bound side are being graded to augment space for these diversions,” he said.
