Lagos-Badagry Expressway to be closed on Sunday

Seems we are having less functioning expressway, aside the fact that the Lagos-Ibadan express way is currently an eye sore one could spend close to five hours in traffic.  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.

“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.”
