For the past few months, commuters living near the Ajah axis in Lagos have had to deal with horrendous traffic in their daily commute.

The traffic typically builds up as early as 5am and those who left home by then often complain of being stuck in the traffic up until 7am and nowhere close to Lekki.

Some commuters in commercial vehicles are often left with no choice than to disembark from their vehicles and continue their commutes on foot.

The main source of the traffic is the ongoing construction work on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, particularly around the Eleganza-VGC-Ajah axis.

Lekki Regional Road



In May 2020, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu officially launched the construction of the long-awaited Lekki regional road.

The route is expected to relieve traffic congestion on the main Lekki-Epe Expressway and throughout the Lekki sub-region.

The road will link the Lekki-Epe Expressway at Victoria Garden City (VGC) Junction to the Freedom Way in Eti Osa.

The 8.75-kilometer road, which includes a 500-meter bridge, a 251-meter interchange, a 50-meter bicycle lane, and an adjacent 500-meter road, is being undertaken by Messrs Hitech Construction Company Ltd.

The road, which is currently 60% percent complete, would connect the Lekki-Epe Expressway at the Victoria Garden City (VGC) junction to the Freedom Way in Eti-Osa to alleviate traffic congestion on the axis.

While providing as an alternative to the Eti-Osa-Epe Expressway, the road project will provide access to Victoria Garden City, Ikate Elegushi, Ikota, Chevron Drive, Ajiran, Pinnock Beach Estate, Gracefield Island, and Orange Island.



The road is also expected to promote socio-economic activities on the Lekki-Epe axis, in addition to offering an alternate route for inhabitants.

Lekki subregion is the new economic center of Lagos with huge amounts already invested in the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lekki Ports, Dangote Petrochemical Plant, Lekki Airports as well as other industrial and commercial developments.

The pilling work for the pedestrian bridges has been completed, and the bridges have already been installed, as well as a significant amount of sand filling dredging on the road alignment.

This project is to precede the proposed Fourth Mainland Bridge whose construction will begin in the first quarter of 2022.

The Lekki regional project is scheduled to be completed in June 2022.

Shebi govt made sure other States port no work so that Lagos go continue to form jagaban. You people have not seen anything yet. The State go collapse when the threshold is exceeded...

Really

Lagos is bit for the faint hearted

YeyeGbami:

It the problem with Lagos is not population but lack leaders with genuine foresight

Coldie:

Shut up what do u know

I know more than your father

use to live there. The money spent on rent and buying houses in that zone no worth the stress and traffic.

We are not ready yet, megacities all over the world have tubes, we are still here glorifying 3rd mainland bridge and Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge, dumbos in government.

superemmy:
Why can't we build subways, tram, interdistrict commuter mini-trains like advanced countries to decongest traffic.

We have the money yet no one uses his brain in government to know its possible.

After they see all these things in developed countries they come back here chasing lifelong ambitions with nothing to show for it.

Nigerians jus like to suffer

They do nonsense because it's what the people are used to and the political class know that they can get away with providing virtually nothing.

The fact that no one from the political class has been killed by the masses despite the gross underdevelopment gives them the impetus to continue with the messed up status quo. Until the criminal-politicians are made to fear for their lives, en masse, Nigeria's problems will continue as we all met them.

The overrated slum called Lagos
I hate that Lagos so much that I have only pass night there, twice, even when I have been there for about 7times.
I do everything to leave the same day

There is only one main road servicing millions of people living around that axis and it has been blocked due to construction for months.

That's Tinubu's Mega city for you.

dawnomike:
We have become used to the madness

Because of Okada

Nigerians glorify it because there are many illiterate and semi literate people who have never travelled out or seen what a proper city looks like.

What we have are uneducated and loud ignoramuses in this country who will praise the bare minimum.

Many of them are on this forum waiting to sell their souls and children's futures for a pot of beans in 2023.

Alagbado is the best place to live....

Lagos is too congested.. some people need the Fashola treatment over and over again where they were packed and dumped on Onitsha bridge.

If there's no traffic how would those selling bottle water do their businesses...

This one na small thing now. On a typical day, traffic will stretch from Ajah, back to chevron and from VGC back to Abraham Adesanya

The madness i face everyday.. close work 5pm then get home 9:30pm-10pm.
Early morning rush hour is even the worst..Ajah under bridge to Northwest fuel station can take you 2hrs(a 5mins walking distance)

Ara21:
Come to Mararaba Nyanya and see.

Maraba Nyanya traffic isn't as long and frustrating as Lekki Ajah traffic . I spent the whole of November at Ajah i know what i faced and i spent the whole of December 2021 in Masaka , d traffic there is frustrating tho but not as that of Lekki Ajah

Congrats to them

Crazy traffic every day. You leave home very early and still meet the traffic. Mondays and Tuesdays are the worst..

A solution to Lagos traffic issues is to construct a flyover/overpass parallel to all the traffic prone roads. This would give road users direct alternatives. Redundancy is a great solution to traffic issues.

They need to sit down and design something that will work.

Aje...



please and please make dem leave us, we are use to it each day...

simple250:
Lekki down to Ajah needs a fly over bridge, that is the only solution to the traffic madness on that road all this bridge construction will only push the traffic to the next traffic light...

Fly over bridges is just the solution like the jubilee bridge in Ajah

I noticed say all vehicles whyne up there glasses... Them no wan hear say ole put hand inside car wo le phone. Abeg make una pardon my spelling oo
