Badagry Expressway to be closed down for 5hrs on sunday

       The closure will be for five hours.
The Lagos State Government has
announced it would close down the Lagos-
Badagry Expressway on Sunday between 7
a.m. and 12 noon.
Kayode Opeifa, who disclosed this in a
statement, said that the closure would serve
as part of concerted efforts to deliver the
first phase of the Blue Line Rail Project.
“The contractor, Messrs China Civil
Engineering Construction Corporation,
CCECC, will be installing pre-cast beams for
the pedestrian bridge to take commuters
into the rail station at Mile 2 and across the
road,” said Mr. Opeifa, the Commissioner
for Transportation.
“This notice serves as awareness
information on the beam launch. We
therefore advise motorists and other road
users to use alternative routes to avoid
traffic delays,” he added.
The Commissioner further said that relevant
government agencies are working to ensure
free flow of traffic during the closure.
“We appeal for caution and cooperation
from all road users to obey all traffic
regulations and ensure traffic flow during
the period of closure,” Mr. Opeifa added
Apart from linking Lagos mainland with
Badagry, the very busy road also leads to
neighbouring Benin Republic.
