The Lagos State Government has unveiled plans for a comprehensive eight-month road rehabilitation along the Lekki–Ajah corridor, starting from November 15, 2025, to July 15, 2026, in a bid to improve mobility and infrastructure quality in one of the city’s busiest corridors.
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, confirmed the development in a statement released in Lagos on Wednesday. He explained that the roadwork would be executed in two major phases to reduce congestion and ensure the project progresses smoothly.
According to Osiyemi, Phase One will cover the stretch between the Lekki First Toll Gate and Lekki Second Toll Gate, divided into seven sections. During construction, one lane will be temporarily closed to traffic while vehicles will use the other lane. “Once the first lane is completed, work will shift to the second lane, ensuring continuous movement for motorists heading towards Lekki and Ajah,” the commissioner stated.
Phase Two, he said, will extend from the Lekki Second Toll Gate to the Ajah Under-Bridge, split into four sections. During this period, motorists traveling from Ajah toward Lekki will be diverted to one lane while repairs continue on the other.
Okay News reports that the commissioner urged residents and drivers to exercise patience, comply with traffic guidelines, and follow the instructions of traffic officers throughout the repair period. He emphasized that the state government remains committed to enhancing road quality, improving commuting experiences, and reducing travel time across major routes.
Osiyemi added that the project forms part of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s broader infrastructure renewal plan, which aims to ease traffic flow, promote economic activities, and ensure sustainable urban development within the Lagos metropolis.
