Lagos-Badagry Expressway
The Lagos State Government says the
Badagry-bound carriageway on the
Lagos-Badagry Expressway will be
closed for five hours on Sunday.
The Commissioner for Transportation,
Mr. Kayode Opeifa, said this in a
statement on Wednesday.
Opeifa said the closure was necessary
as part of efforts to deliver the first
phase of the Blue Line Rail Project.
He advised motorists and other road
users to make use of alternative routes
to avoid traffic delays.
He said, "The contractor, China Civil
Engineering Construction Corporation,
will be installing pre-cast beams for the
pedestrian bridge to take commuters
into the rail station at Mile 2 and across
the road.
"The Badagry-bound carriageway on
the Lagos Badagry Expressway will be
closed to traffic between 7am and 12
noon on Sunday, October 20, 2013 to
enable the contractor to install the
beams.
"We appeal for caution and cooperation
from all road users to obey all traffic
regulations and ensure traffic flow
during the period of closure. We are
working with relevant Lagos State
agencies to ensure free flow of traffic."
