The Badagry bound carriageway on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, LBE, will be closed to traffic between 7am and 12 noon today, to allow for construction of pedestrian bridge for the blue line rail project along the axis.

Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Comrade Kayode Opeifa, who disclosed this, said the move was part of concerted efforts to deliver the first phase of the Blue Line Rail Project, as part of the 10-lane, expansion road project of Lagos- Badagry Expressway.

According to Opeifa, the contractor, Messrs China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, CCECC, would be installing pre-cast beams for the pedestrian bridge to take commuters into the rail station at Mile 2 and across the road.

He explained: “The Badagry bound carriageway on the Lagos Badagry Expressway, will be closed to traffic between 7am and 12 noon on Sunday 20th October, 2013 to enable the contractor install the beams.

”This notice serves as awareness information on the beam launch. We therefore advise motorists and other road users to use alternative routes to avoid traffic delays.

”We appeal for caution and cooperation from all road users to obey all traffic regulations and ensure traffic flow during the period of closure.

”We are working with relevant Lagos State agencies to ensure free flow of traffic.

”The Lagos State Government sincerely regrets any inconveniences.”

Meanwhile, motorists were advised to take alternative routes available, either through Festac Town or Kirikiri Road.

The taste of the puddling,they say,is in the eating.Lagosians are really enjoying the dividends of democracy.Fashola,keep it up!

Governor Fashola, the visionary and performant leader of Lagos State, an important Yoruba state, we are proud of you! Let this so called national conference grant Nigeria back it's regional autonomies and I will more than be happy to support you as our next Premier of Western Nigeria! In current Nigeria, you would have been president of the country, but if Nigeria remains as is with other Nigerians unwilling to agree to a regional governing arrangement, I say confidently that you deserve to be the leader if this country!

Fashola has indeed proven beyond doubt that every other Governor, both past and present are nothing but looters, just like GEJ and Tinubu.
one dullard raised a valid point recently, that Tinubu actually drew the blueprints which Fashola is currently adopting. wonderful! i had to clap for him.
So Tinubu as fondly called is telling Lagosians he spent 8 years designing the blueprint which Fashola now uses as his only pocket map to take Lagos to the megacity and Lagosians are not buying the superstory?
are you kidding me?

Eko oni baje ooooo.........tell those kidnapers to go develope their own region, rather than fighting lost battle.
