The Lagos State Government has announced an eight-month traffic diversion along the Lekki-Ajah corridor to facilitate major rehabilitation works, from November 15 to July 15, 2026.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said this in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday in Lagos.
Osiyemi said the project, with preliminary works already in progress, would be carried out in two phases to minimise traffic disruption.
“Phase 1: Lekki first toll gate to Lekki second toll gate, work will be done in seven sections. During the construction, one lane of the two lanes will be closed, while motorists will use the second lane.
He said for phase two, the Lekki second toll gate to Ajah under-bridge, work would be done in four sections.
Motorists from Ajah inward Lekki will be diverted to one lane while repairs are ongoing on the other lane.
The commissioner advised motorists to be patient and follow traffic directions, as some sections of the road would be partially closed during the repair period.
According to him, the repairs are part of the Lagos State Government’s efforts to improve road quality and ease traffic flow.
