Lagos State Government have begun processes to patch Lekki-Epe Expressway.
The Lagos State government and Craneburg Construction, the contractor on the project, have committed to palliative action in order to lessen the suffering.
The state government and the contractor met on Monday, identified the problems and proffered temporary measures that would help construction work and at the same time ease congestion.
“The Lagos State government is aware of the hardship motorists are facing while travelling on Lekki-Epe Expressway and so wishes to state that their concerns are well noted, hence it is committed to improving this vital route and ensuring a smoother and safer journey for all.”
“The State Government, while appreciating the patience and support as work progresses towards a better transportation experience for everyone, is pleased to announce a significant development in its ongoing efforts to address the challenges.”
“The state Ministry of Transportation engaged with Craneburg and other stakeholders, with each party committing to specific responsibilities to tackle the pressing issues affecting this vital infrastructure,” Oluwaseun Osiyemi, Commissioner for Transport said.
According to the commissioner, the congestion on the expressway was a result of a high fill profile from KM18+600 to KM20+000; ongoing earthworks at Ogidan in Ijeshatedo, and the impact of a recent trailer accident on the expressway.
