The opening on the express road allowing cars to turn into Lekki Phase1 (Ocean Side) opposite Amazon Energy Building when heading to V/I is a relief as it allows those going to V/I and Lagos Island to branch off before Phase 1 roundabout the final major bottleneck in the morning.

You are quite right.

Those spots create a lot of headache. Between 3rd round about and Agungi is really bad. I have seen quite a number of accidents (okada and cars) there.

This is also compounded by the bus operators who stop on the road for passengers.

There are some spots where LCC ought to create space for the bus operators. They have done this at New Road junction and Jakande (3rd Round about). Despite the presence of LASTMA officials, the buses still stop at the round about, creating the traffic jam between second round about and the third in the morning.

That stretch (between 2nd and 3rd round about) in my reckoning is the worst in terms of traffic jam in the evening.

In the morning, the source of the problem is the bus stop just after the 3rd round about. The trafiic jam begins there and stretches beyond chevron round about. This is now compunded by the filling stations.

Megastu,

Which bad spots are you referring to?

Megastu,

If you are considering this for driving along the beach, make sure the car you buy has overdrive!

I mean that!

Work is progressing on the phase 1 toll plaza with two lanes opened for both eastward (towards Ajah) and westward (towards V/I) traffic in the completed lanes of the plaza.

The culvert at the junction between the expressway and the street between Mobil Head office and the Mobil filling station is almost complete.

The surface of the old two lanes for traffic going towards V/Island is being removed for re-surfacing.

Some grading and widening of the Alpha Beach road is also going on. Most likely for the impending holiday concerts.

The fuel stations between second roundabout and third roundabout are now a source of heavy traffic for traffic heading west (i.e. towards V/Island) in the morning as their queues spill over onto the express road.

It seems to me that work on the access road in front of Oniru private beach to join the road in front of Convenant Estate (I think the name should be Covenant Estate ) has been suspended. Why did they start in the first place?

Ebedi,

In order not to derail your post, I have started a new thread at https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-367311.0.html

Sorry about the distraction (if you consider it one).

Post started at https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-366137.0.html#msg5125713

I visited Buena Vista some time back. There wasn't much work going on there.  Has the pace picked up now? I mean in terms of infrastructure. When I visited the roads were yet to be clearly marked out. The houses I saw seemed to me to be sample houses.

That was then. It would be nice to know that the pace has since picked up.

About Ocean Bay Estate, I observed that the owners of the Estate provide lighting on the Alpha Beach Road from just off the Beach to the entrance of the Estate. That is quite good! Very commendable! 

There is also a large parcel of land currently being developed along the New Road/ Alpha Beach Road by Julius Berger. I believe it is for the American International Schools. 

In terms of the access roads, where does the link road from Eleganza estate burst out on the Alpha Beach Road? Is it before or after Ocean Bay if you are heading from Alpha Beach?

I noticed some serious grading work was recently done on the New Road (i.e. road leading to Alpha Beach from expressway). I wonder if this for the concert billed to hold at Alpha Beach during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Government ought to do something about developing that beach. The present state is appalling by international standards.

I read sometime about an Okun Ajah Waterfront Scheme being planned by the Lagos State Government. I would really like to know what this is about. Is it a residential scheme like Lekki Phase II or a tourist centre? Any one with infomation on this?

Another thing I would like to know is LASG/Lekki Concession Company's  (LCC) plan for situating the second toll gate. Where do they plan to locate the second toll plaza (after the one at Phase 1)? Is it between the Chevron roundabout and Ajah or after Ajah?

I have also observed that no work is being done between the second round about and third roundabout/chevron round about by LCC. Is this deliberate? 

The third round about through to the Lekki (Maiyegun) beach is supposed to be transformed through the developement of a New Maiyegun Scheme (La Plage Business District and Estate) - (See http://laplagebusinessdistrict.com/ ,  http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=653674 and http://www.nairalist.com/lagos/housing/2993)

Are the developers of the Maiyegun Scheme supposed to work on that stretch of the express road?

Also what is happening to the Coastal Road? Is it a Lagos State project or Fed. Govt. Project.  If it is not developed, what alternatives will be available to road users on the axis when the expressway is compeleted?  Users of inner roads are supposed to be fenced off from the express road when completed. How feasible is that when the inner roads are not developed?


Updates please.

Thanks

Yeah you're right! Ocean Bay estate is a very nice one! Was there just few days ago. Another would be classy and lovely estate, Buena Vista is springing up beside it.

Ebedi good news for you though; the link road frm the express would soon be awarded by early next year and by then Ocean Bay would be barely 2 mins from Chev. Pls don't ask how I got to know! Some of us are moving in to BV by June/July by God's grace provided no major game changer occurs!!

Long post? Sorry, just wondering,
