Lagos Begins Eight-Month Rehabilitation on Lekki–Ajah Corridor

The Lagos State Government has announced the commencement of an eight-month rehabilitation project on the Lekki–Ajah corridor, scheduled to run from Saturday, November 15, 2025, to Wednesday, July 15, 2026.

According to a statement by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the project will be executed in two major phases and has already begun with preliminary works. He assured residents that the government will implement traffic management measures to minimize congestion throughout the construction period.

Osiyemi explained that Phase One, which covers the stretch from the Lekki First Toll Gate to the Lekki Second Toll Gate, will be divided into seven sections. During this phase, one lane will be closed at a time while motorists utilize the other. Upon completion of one lane, work will move to the next.

Phase Two will span from the Lekki Second Toll Gate to the Ajah Under Bridge and will be executed in four sections. Traffic from Ajah to Lekki will be diverted to one lane while work continues on the other, ensuring continuous movement for motorists heading towards Ajah.

The commissioner appealed to commuters and residents to cooperate with traffic officers and contractors to ensure a smooth and safe rehabilitation process.

“This project is part of the government’s strategic effort to upgrade road infrastructure and ensure better movement across the Lekki–Ajah corridor,” Osiyemi said. “We are aware that the construction period may cause some inconvenience, but we are taking every step to manage traffic effectively and ensure minimal disruption.”

“We urge motorists to be patient, obey traffic signs, and follow diversion instructions as some sections will be partially closed during the rehabilitation. Once completed, the project will bring significant relief to road users and improve travel time across the axis,” he added.

The commissioner reaffirmed the Lagos State Government’s commitment to improving road quality and maintaining critical infrastructure, noting that the Lekki–Ajah project aligns with the state’s broader plan to modernize its transportation network and support rapid urban growth.
