The Lagos State Government has announced a phased traffic diversion plan for the rehabilitation of the Lekki–Epe Expressway, with construction work scheduled to run intersection by intersection over several weeks.
A traffic management notice reportedly issued by the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation states that the Lagos-bound carriageway of the expressway has been divided into 8 intersection phases.
Each phase covers a defined stretch of road and takes between 5 and 18 days to complete.
The first phase, covering 1.79 kilometres from Maruwa Bus Stop to Admiralty, is expected to last seven days.
This will be followed by a six-day phase from Freedom Way to Maruwa Bus Stop, spanning 1.50 kilometres.
The third phase, measuring 0.97 kilometres between Chisco and Freedom Way, is scheduled for five days.
Subsequent phases include 1.88 kilometres from Jakande to Chisco over nine days, 1.57 kilometres from Igbo-Efon to Jakande over eight days, and 1.06 kilometres from Chevron to Igbo-Efon over six days.
The seventh phase covers 0.97 kilometres from the Second Toll Gate to Chevron and will last five days.
The final and longest phase of the project spans 4.37 kilometres from Ajah Bridge to the Second Toll Gate and is expected to take 18 days.
The ministry said work will be carried out strictly at intersections to manage traffic flow and reduce disruption along the corridor.
The state government declared last week that a 20-kilometer section of the Lekki–Epe Motorway would undergo rehabilitation for roughly 64 days.
During a tour of the corridor, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the state Commissioner for Transportation, stated that traffic control during the rehabilitation would concentrate on particular intersections rather than closing the entire corridor at once.
“To facilitate construction while maintaining vehicular movement, the Lagos-bound carriageway will be closed in segments,” Osiyemi said.
