Babajide Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu

It pleases me to share that the Mushin Flyover — the last of the five overpasses built along the Red Line corridor — is now open to traffic.

Today, I formally commissioned this infrastructure, which I believe will bring a new commuting experience to the community.

With this new overpass, we’ve made it much safer by keeping pedestrians and vehicles away from the train tracks, which will help prevent accidents. It also opens up new routes to Agege Motor Road, Post Office Road, and Ogunmokun, making travel easier and boosting the local economy.

I’m also happy to share that the primary school that was demolished in the right-of-way for the overpass has been rebuilt nearby.

I encourage everyone to take care of this infrastructure and to help protect it from any intentional damage.

I have seen all kinds of accidents take place along that route in over 40 years.

There used to be a yellow and black barrier along that route when I was a kid, it was lowered when a train was coming, to prevent cars from crossing, but it was stolen and rammed very many times. At one point the NRC decided not to replace the barrier, but instead they stationed a man with a flag at the level crossing. He waved his flag whenever the train was coming and traffic stopped. But some people did not stop because they believed that they could go faster than the train.

A train rammed a soft drinks truck along that route in the 1990s, a train rammed a car and carried it to the next station in the 2000s and just a few years ago a train rammed a Lagos State staff bus, killing some people.

The Lagos State Government and the Federal Government have decided that there should no longer be any level crossing along the route, in order to prevent conflict between cars/people and trains. The Lagos State Government is to build 5 flyovers along the route and the Federal Government will build 5 flyovers.

The route will also be walled off to prevent traders from trading on the rail tracks and squatters from living along the route. Pedestrian bridges have been built along with the flyovers.

The Lagos State Government has now built all its flyovers and these are:

1. Agege Pen Cinema FlyOver

2. Oyingbo FlyOver

3: Yaba FlyOver

4: Ikeja Flyover

5. Mushin Flyover.

The Federal Government is to build 5 flyovers, but it hasn't built any yet.

SANWO-OLU OPENS LAST RED LINE FLYOVER IN MUSHIN

•‘We’ve fulfilled our pledge’ — Governor


Mushin Flyover — the last of the five overpasses built along the Red Line corridor — is now open to traffic. Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday, formally commissioned the infrastructure, bringing a new commuting experience to the axis.

The project, undertaken by Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), has brought traffic relief to motorists and commuters connecting Agege Motor Road from Onipanu, just as it solved congestion and delays associated with railway level crossing at Ogunmokun axis.

The overpass also eliminated pedestrian and vehicular interference on the rail tracks, eradicating the risk of accidents and collisions between trains and vehicles.

A euphoric crowd of residents thronged the short ceremony where the Governor, his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, and members of the State’s cabinet gathered to inaugurate the project.

Before the Mushin Flyover was completed, the Sanwo-Olu administration had opened four other bridges in Yaba, Oyingbo, Ikeja and Agege to create new connectivities along the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line, which spans 37 kilometres from Agbado to Oyingbo.

The Governor said the opening of the Mushin Flyover was another fulfillment of his administration’s promise to the residents, noting that the infrastructure had changed the face of public transportation in the State.

The flyover, Sanwo-Olu said, would bring relief to the issue of congestion hitherto experienced in the area, while also reducing journey time in accessing Mushin from Ilupeju axis.

He said: “The Mushin overpass is strategically important for ease of movement and connectivity within Mushin and Onipanu communities, opening new routes to Agege Motor Road, Post Office Road and Ogunmokun axis. This infrastructure has brought not only traffic improvement, but also huge economic value to the area.

“With this new infrastructure, we have ensured there is minimal disruption on the Red Line corridor. For us, we have kept our promise to the citizens and made their lives better. The quality of infrastructure we have provided is about making the lives of our citizens better, improving their means of livelihood and quality of life.”

Sanwo-Olu disclosed that members of the host communities benefited from the project construction, pointing out that the construction also gave engineering students an internship opportunity to get first-hand practical knowledge.

The Governor also said the primary school demolished in the right-of-way of the flyover had been rebuilt in a nearby location, commending Mushin and Onipanu residents for supporting the development.

He charged the residents to take ownership of the infrastructure and protect it from deliberate destruction.

LAMATA Managing Director, Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, said the State Government had fully compensated owners of the buildings in the course of the project, which, she said, was handled by a local contractor.

Who do Imo State 😭

Thunder fire HOPE UZODINMA

Flyovers are also being constructed along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

There used to be junctions and zebra crossings along the expressway (for example, near Alaba Market), but these led to unbelievable traffic jams. I have been stuck in those traffic jams in the past and believe me they are hellish.

The Lagos State Government is also constructing the Blue Line rail system along the route and it does not want conflict between trains and cars (there will be no level crossing on the route).

Therefore the Lagos State Government is building flyovers at Alakija, Iyana-Iba and Alaba Suru.

Nice one

Eko o ni baje oo

While some are celebrating Julius berger logo 😂😂😂
Btw, there are more than 5 of these along that corridor.
Lagos no be una grandpa mate.

He must be learning very fast from Wicked Wike the Troubler and Executor of Obijiots and the cockroaches from the Land of the Rising UGM

Wike has set the standard with flyovers.
If you want to be celebrated as a working governor & Mr. Project just build flyovers here & there.
Do nothing else but flyovers.

Every governor from Lagos is a presidential material

Nonybb:
How people love APC is still amazing to me. I hate that party and Muhammadu Buhari with passion no matter how they have benefited the people or suffered them

Keep hating while simon ekpa continue to victimise your parents in the village.

Lagos would have progressed more if all other states are half progressive!

About six local governments in Lagos are dominated by other tribes!

dibunotion:
Every governor from Lagos is a presidential material

Your stupidity show example of Tinubu...destroying Nigeria today. Just because of a mere flyover in a slum state, he is now suitable to be president. You people should stop this nonsense. It's taking Nigeria no where.

It's better to be quiet if have nothing to say....!

I believe with the completion ob this bridge, the blue rail 🚈 line from Marina to Oke Aro can now commence.

Sad

Eko Oni baje ooooo. Everyday in lagos is for one commissioning or the other.

The Lagos State Government has now built all its flyovers and these are:

1. Agege Pen Cinema FlyOver

2. Oyingbo FlyOver

3: Yaba FlyOver

4: Ikeja Flyover

5. Mushin Flyover.

The Federal Government is to build 5 flyovers,

FG has not built any yet. The remaining should be Fagba, Jibowu, etc.

Sad.

Where is the $100m (₦160,000,000,000) Lagos State received from Dangote ,for the land in ibeju Lekki?

Na wẹ Igbos build am.

Nonsense.

The bridges fly over the Lagos Red Line rail and the Lagos-Kano national rail lines.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2-_j1YtwhM?si=d2o5cHzfNFgekIDl

Lagos state is the only state in Nigeria that is working others are just embezzling federal allocation and fighting godfather and godmother

I was there when Pen Cinema was commissioned.

And none of the flyovers were truckless.

This is to answer those who built a truckless flyover in the middle of Ibadan in 2012. A truckless flyover that didn't solve traffic one bit

Oshi

IP0B/0BIDIENTS will start crying and foaming at the mouth over a bridge that was designed and built in Lagos.


Governor Sanwo-Olu is a wicked man for giving headache to IP0B/0BIDIENTS again and again.
