The Lagos State Government has announced a 64-day traffic management plan to facilitate rehabilitation works on the Epe-bound carriageway of the Lekki–Ajah Expressway.
Epe Insights reports that the development follows the successful completion of repairs on the Chevron to Admiralty Way stretch of the Lagos-bound carriageway. Authorities say the next phase will focus on reconstructing the Epe-bound section.
Under the arrangement, the Epe-bound carriageway will be closed from Admiralty Way Junction to Jubilee Bridge in Ajah. The closure is intended to allow uninterrupted construction across key intersections along the corridor.
To manage traffic flow, vehicles will be diverted to the Lagos-bound carriageway. Lane allocations will be adjusted based on peak periods to reduce congestion.
During the morning peak from 5:00am to 10:00am, two lanes will serve Lagos-bound traffic, while one lane will accommodate vehicles heading toward Epe.
In the evening and night peak from 3:00pm to 3:00am, two lanes will serve Epe-bound vehicles, while one lane will handle Lagos-bound traffic.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, advised motorists to consider alternative routes. He specifically encouraged the use of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Road where feasible.
Traffic control measures have been put in place to ensure compliance and minimize disruption. Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and other traffic personnel will be deployed along the corridor.
A tow truck will also be stationed within the project zone to promptly remove broken-down vehicles and prevent gridlock.
The state government appealed to motorists for patience and cooperation throughout the 64-day exercise. Officials emphasized that the rehabilitation project is aimed at improving road safety, durability, and overall commuting experience along the busy Lekki–Ajah corridor.
