The popular Allen Roundabout in Ikeja which is one of the traffic prone areas in Lagos, connecting Aromire Avenue, Allen Avenue and Awolowo Way leading to the Alausa secretariat has been demolished to ease traffic.

See pictures of the old and new round about below

Good development considering the volume of traffic on that axis ...

I am hoping that the traffic will ease now, maybe an overhead bridge would have been better

What we need most in this country is 24/7 electricity so we can run our businesses and feed ourselves, not all these sorry-ass evidences of infrastructural mediocrity.

I don't really think so, but it will serve as improvement to the previous round-about that contributed nothing but more traffic flow.

Lekki Phase 1 round-about was also scrapped and replaced with something similar to this, yet traffic build-up still normal occurrence along that corridor

The problem with Lekki Expressway is that it is the only road servicing that area and Lagos state erred a bit by allowing the concession company to fence the road. If the govt can open up inner roads from Maroko to Ajah and from Lekki Phase 1 to Elegushi to Badore, it will be ok.

that's good
people should also obey traffic signals..
the place looks like sokoto road Kaduna

Aerial view fine oooooo

Basically you can generate your own electricity independently.
If only we had constant light in this country, many things won't be problems.
However any business that wants to progress must be ready to innovate how they will pad electricity deficiency with proper power generation outlets so as not to crash and burn in this country.

But roads on the other hand are a whole ball game. You can't build road for your self and by your self per se.
"Infrastructural mediocrity" does not qualify this roundabout as the people left to navigate that axis will attest to how it has eased their lives and business especially with the reduction in traffic and traffic related incidents.

Don't let your unobjective and questionable "personal conviction" in relation to this issue cloud your brain. Sounding ignorant is not a talent you should be proud of.

Ofcourse they will. There are traffic lights there

So beautiful

If not for the issue of traffic.

I actually preferred the old looks, its green vegetation and nature's look is beautiful.

Nice

Dr Fred Oladeinde is working

Beautiful

Progress will always be made when a government has sense and the goodwill of its citizens at heart. I just hope they did not spend billions to dismantle 1 roundabout

Nice. Roundabout takes too much space.

One of the major agenda of Sanwolu has always been HOW TO REDUCE Lagos traffic. He's been doing so Accordingly, from road to rail, to sea transportation. Sanwolu n sanwoeko.
Keep the good work up.
God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria
