LAGOS ANNOUNCES EIGHT-MONTH TRAFFIC DIVERSION ON LEKKI-AJAH CORRIDOR. (PHOTO).


 Lagos announces eight-month traffic diversion on Lekki-Ajah corridor


The Lagos State Government has announced that road rehabilitation works will commence on the Lekki-Ajah corridor from Saturday, November 15, 2025, and will run through Wednesday, July 15, 2026 — a period of eight months.


According to a statement signed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Wednesday, the project aims to improve road quality and ease traffic flow along one of the state’s busiest routes.


“The Lagos State Government has announced road rehabilitation works on Lekki-Ajah corridor commencing from Saturday 15th November, 2025 to Wednesday 15th July, 2026, a period of 8 months,” the statement also shared on his X read.


Osiyemi explained that the rehabilitation would be executed in two phases to minimize inconvenience for commuters and businesses along the corridor, with preliminary works already in progress.


Phase 1: Lekki 1st Toll Gate to Lekki 2nd Toll Gate

This phase, according to the statement, will cover seven (7) sections of the expressway.


“During the construction, a lane out of the 2 lanes will be closed while motorists will use the second lane. When the closed lane is completed, work will shift to the other lane,” it stated.


The commissioner assured that despite the closures, motorists going to Lekki and Ajah will have through fare throughout the duration of Phase 1.


Phase 2: Lekki 2nd Toll Gate to Ajah Under-Bridge

The second phase of the project will focus on four (4) sections of the road, with traffic diversions implemented to maintain movement.


“Motorists from Ajah inward Lekki will be diverted to one lane while repairs are ongoing on the other lane. When the first lane is completed, work will move to the second lane,” the statement noted.


It further added that during this phase, “motorists heading towards Ajah will have continuous movement.”


Advisory to Motorists

The Lagos State Government appealed for patience and cooperation from residents and road users, emphasizing that the temporary inconvenience would yield long-term benefits.


“Some sections of the road will be partially closed during the repair period. Motorists are advised to be patient and follow traffic directions. These repairs are part of the Lagos State Government’s efforts to improve road quality and ease traffic flow.”


Osiyemi reaffirmed that the rehabilitation aligns with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to sustainable urban mobility and infrastructural renewal across Lagos.


The commissioner urged commuters to plan their journeys accordingly and to obey all traffic management personnel deployed to ensure smooth vehicular movement during the project.


Earlier in September, the Lagos State Government commenced rehabilitation works on the stretch of the Eti-Osa/Lekki/Epe Expressway, covering the Admiralty Way Junction to Jubilee Bridge section (Ajah) in Eti-Osa Local Government Area and Eti-Osa East LCDA.
