For years, the Apapa-Wharf Road in Apapa, Lagos was in a chronic state of disrepair.

The road was notorious for terrific traffic gridlock at the Apapa axis.

However, on June 17, 2017, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, signed a N4.34 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd and some other stakeholders for reconstructing the Apapa-Wharf Road.

The project was to be supervised by the Ministry of Works and Housing and funded by AG Dangote Construction Company Ltd, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc.

On September 2018,  reconstruction work on the Apapa-Wharf Concrete Road was completed.





The four-kilometre dual carriageway, built with cement, has a median, walkways and side barriers on the various sections painted in black and white.

With the completion of the road, gridlock on the Apapa Road is expected to ease.

Today, the gridlock on the Wharf road have relatively reduced.

However, a cause for worry is the almost permanent presence of heavy-duty trucks and trailers on the 4-kilometer stretch of the road.

As a result of their activities, some wears are already being noticed on some part of the freshly reconstructed road, notably at the NPA/Wharf end of the road.

See photos below.

P.S: These photos were taken on a recent public holiday.















The photos below show the degradation of the newly constructed Wharf road at the Wharf/NPA gate section.

The earlier we realize that this gridlock can never ever leave that road, the better...

The answer is simple: Corruption

These tankers pay to park on that expressway. Nigerian Army, Navy, LASTMA, FRSC, NSCDC, Nupeng union and the rest are all stationed there extorting these guys in the name of "controlling traffic"

[b]How come these tankers disappear whenever Buhari is around? It means something can be done, but as usual, the government doesnt care

Like Jimi Disu said this morning, "Our politicians are wicked people"[/b]

Nice question

They should DECONGEST LAGOS
Simple

Its actually a concrete road, more durable than tarmac (also requires less maintenance). The United States uses it for its freeways, whereas Tarmac is more frequently used in Europe..

Bitumen still remains the best option over concrete for road construction in Nigeria. We have a poor maintenance culture

I only see the refuse dump.

Dangote owns the highest number of trailers in Nigeria, so he reconstructed the road for trailers and their drivers.

Correct. To move from Ijora to Apapa on the bridge alone will require a truck owner spending about 40k to pass. How will the gridlock end with such huge corrupt money exchanging hands?

I deleted my post when I looked deeper and saw concrete.
Thanks.
Was initially fuming.
