Osiyemi explained that the project would be executed in two phases to reduce traffic congestion and ensure smooth movement along the busy route.
According to him, Phase One will cover the stretch between the Lekki First Toll Gate and the Lekki Second Toll Gate.
The work will be done in seven sections, during which one lane will be closed at a time to allow motorists to use the other lane for movement. Once a section is completed, construction will shift to the remaining lane.
For Phase Two, which spans from the Lekki Second Toll Gate to the Ajah under-bridge, the rehabilitation will be carried out in four sections. Osiyemi said motorists from Ajah heading toward Lekki will be diverted to one lane while work continues on the other.
Upon completion of one lane, construction will move to the next, ensuring that traffic flow toward Ajah remains steady throughout the project.
The Commissioner appealed to road users to exercise patience and comply with traffic management officers’ directions during the repair period, adding that the temporary inconveniences would lead to lasting improvements.
He assured that the rehabilitation forms part of the government’s broader effort to enhance road quality, reduce travel time, and improve overall traffic management across Lagos State.
