The Lagos State Government has announced that rehabilitation work on 20 kilometres of the Lekki–Epe Expressway will commence on Sunday, January 25, and last for 64 days.
The disclosure was made by Olufemi Daramola, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure, during an inspection tour of the corridor, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The project, which was earlier scheduled to begin in November 2025, was postponed due to the Yuletide period.
- The rehabilitation will cover the stretch from Admiralty to Jubilee Bridge, on both carriageways.
- Works will be executed in eight sections using asphalt (flexible pavement) to reduce traffic disruption.
- Construction will start from Chevron to Igbo-Efon, initially on the Lagos-bound carriageway.
Traffic management plan
- Traffic will be diverted in phases to the Epe-bound carriageway, with dynamic lane sharing during peak hours.
- Two lanes will remain open toward Lagos during morning peak periods.
- Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, including the Coastal Road via Ogombo-Abraham Adesanya and routes through Orchid Road, Lafiaji, and Naale Street.
The state government said the phased rehabilitation is aimed at improving road durability, safety, and commuter experience, while minimising congestion during the construction period.
