FG To Take Over Expansion Of Lagos- Badagry Express Way by 1goodman: 12:03am On Sep 23, 2014 |
The Federal Government is to take over reconstruction and expansion of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, the Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, said on Monday. The minister said this in Lagos during a slide presentation of work on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway by Julius Berger Plc. The presentation took place at the company’s office complex in Ijora. Onolememen said that a new project design that involved five other ECOWAS member-countries was being undertaken. He gave the assurance that the project would soon be implemented. The minister said that a regional effort would be the best way to handle the road project. He said that he was the Chairman of a five- member Country Project Steering Committee on the project. “We will definitely get into the construction stage; at that time, all the challenges the Lagos State Government is having on that road will be a thing of the past because we will construct that road,” he said. The minister directed Julius Berger to complete rehabilitation of the Apapa/Oshodi Expressway in the next eight weeks. “Take remedial works into consideration; three months is too far and would be chaotic, considering the ember months; maybe, you should look for ways to get less construction time. “Let us see if we can terminate the emergency works by November,” he said. While inspecting the road, the minister said that rigid pavement was being used to reconstruct the road to cater for new load capacity which was not envisaged when the road was built in the 1970s. He said that the Federal Government decided to take drastic measures to rehabilitate the road due to public outcry, following perennial gridlock on the road in June and July. He said that the completion of a trailer park in Lagos was important as it would accommodate about 500 trucks and decongest the highway. “Given the clemency of weather, Julius Berger should be able to finish emergency repairs in another eight weeks. “The new design takes cognizance of heavy traffic. “Rigid pavement would be used to fight the menace of surface and underground water prevalence on the road,” he said. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Lagos State Government embarked on expansion of the Lagos-Badagry Road from four to 10 lanes in April, 2009. Construction of a light rail line and a Bus Rapid Transit corridor is part of the project, to enhance tourism and economic activities on this axis. source: http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-to-take-over-expansion-of-lagos-badagry-express-way/ 1 Like |

If you wanna waste time pls ply Lagos-Badagry expressway anytime of the day. The morning and evening session are the worst time to enter this road. You'd just give up on Nigeria entirely. I've been 6hrs on this road before so I know what am saying 7 Likes |

Lagos State Government has been so slow at road construction that they've been at between Mile 2 and Agboju for over 2yrs now. People are really suffering plying that route. Traffic there is the worst in Lagos 15 Likes |

good work,, but then it would lead to more traffic gridlock esp. if its not constructed/repaired in due time. come to think of it, so Lagos state government wouldn't have considered the plight of the masses if there was no public outcry and complains |

People are really suffering plying that route. Traffic there is the worst in Lagos Im not sure, these days from Oshodi to Egbeda hold up don tie wrapper too,. I spent nothing less than 4 hrs on that road. Especially if i get to oshodi at 6 o'clock, i must get home 10. |

rezzy:I also ply your route, that is another place esp during rush hour BUT the major cause of yours is Driver's madness coupled with Lagos factor. That of Lagos-Badagry esp from Mile 2 to Okoko is multi-faceted and includes our government. You tell us to be patient cos of road construction but your contractors are damn slow on this straight road. Just over 2km in over 2yrs is unacceptable. They have been making promises since 2012 but have not even fixed Mile 2 up till this morning. Fashola has been joking with those on that route but I won't blame him. The Federal men in Abj are always a disgrace. My point is: Let the road construction be done properly and faster 4 Likes |
