….Government Reassures Residents on Strategic Traffic Management Plan
The Lagos State Government has noted the concerns expressed by residents and commuters regarding the ongoing rehabilitation of the Lekki–Ajah corridor. Government appreciates these concerns, particularly as we approach the high-traffic festive period, and wishes to provide clarity to all road users.
The rehabilitation work will be implemented in carefully planned phases to ensure that daily movement is not disrupted. Only specific sections of the corridor will undergo repairs at any given time, and these sections have been deliberately chosen to ensure minimal impact on the main carriageway.
To further reduce inconvenience, alternative routes are being opened and strengthened, including the Coastal Road and adjoining service lanes, to provide smoother diversions where necessary. In addition, Lagos State has activated a night-shift strategy for major aspects of the repair works so that the bulk of construction activity takes place when traffic volume is significantly lower.
Government has also put in place comprehensive peak-period traffic management plans. LASTMA personnel will be deployed in adequate numbers along the entire stretch to ensure continuous movement, prevent gridlock, and respond swiftly to any traffic pressure that may arise during the rehabilitation period.
The intention of the rehabilitation project is to improve the Lekki–Ajah corridor, not to add discomfort to residents. Government appeals for patience and cooperation as we work to deliver lasting solutions that will make commuting safer, faster, and more convenient for all.
The Lagos State Government remains committed to providing world-class infrastructure and will continue to engage with the public as the project progresses.
