8.75 kilometer Road and it is regional? Less than 10 km and yet billions will be expended. Go to Jakande and Igbo-Efon see the worsening state of roads. God will help you. One day posterity we judge us all!

Lagos will continue getting bigger and bigger

All Yoruba land should follow suit

From Togo to Kogi state

When less than 10 kilometre Road turn regional? These people no dey tire to steal ni?

Okada they meant?

Lagos is the face of Nigeria

The commissioner is just making noise up and down she should get to work over an 8km road, is this a regiional road...Mumu woman

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Hope it would ease traffic on the lekki-epe axis? They should make it at least 8 lanes total.

Inner city roads also need attention Sanwo Olu

People just pack go full the island even when they are not doing anything there just to bear I stay in the island, then they will rent one self contain and stay 7inside especially in ajah area

this is a welcome development..but more efforts shud be placed on the apapa axis road...Lagos tends to generate more from that axis..

This is a good development considering the fact that Lekki-Epe express way is congested already with so many real estates springing up daily and the traffic congestion getting worse.
More detours should be created to easy traffic cos the nightmares of drivers on this axis daily is best imagined.

Osu, frustration will eventually finish you on Yoruba matter

If not for Raji Fashola and his craze love for his tribal people that push him to kick start development of Lagos State....

The bullion van thief would have dry Lagos even after leaving office year 2008

Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Just Thank God Sanwo olu despite being in the party of thieves his still following the road Raji Fashola set for them

While the agberoism is still claiming jagaban for milking his fellow humans

Why won't billions be expended? I hope you know N1bln is only $2mln!! N10bln is only $20mln. Besides the road will be more expensive than normal because of the swampy and non solid nature of soil in that axis (a LOT of sand filling and compaction will be required - its not the same as building a road in Oyo state on firm, dry ground). Also because the fact that the construction is in a built up area, logistics will be difficult and safety and environmental measures have to be put in place much more than a road construction in the middle of nowhere.

I am not saying it might not be overinflated, or that there will not be corruption, but just trying to balance it for you.

Lagos is the most progressive state in Nigeria.
Kaduna comes a very close second.
Kano, Akwa-Ibom, Kwara and Borno are doing relatively okay.
Other states are glorified LGAs.

The worst states in Nigeria are in the Southeast. They lag in EVERY developmental index.

Before you insult me, may Sango punish you in advance.

I really hope that the design of this road has been well thought through? Unfortunately, knowing Nigeria, it will not have. A factor that causes so much issue for the existing Lekki Epe expressway is the absence of flyovers, with proper exit and entry lane. While the effort to re-design the road from roundabout to junctions made some sense, it was not the most optimal because the traffic flow of that axis is too heavy even for junctions with traffic lights.

At the minimum, there should have been a flyover at 2nd (Marwa) round about, 4th Roundabout at Ikate, Igbo Efon, VGC and then the Ajah one. This would have allowed for much freer flow of traffic.

And besides, once this road is completed, LASG should immediately begin to plan for a Coastal road as well so that say by 2025, there will be at least 3 parallel roads of similar capacity to take people from Ajah axis to VI, Marina.

And in fact, beyond roads, a train system would be very welcome to that axis.
