Reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Lagos-Badagry Road will involve expanding it from four to 10 lanes.
The Federal Government will carry out reconstruction and expansion of Lagos-Badagry Expressway road, the minister of Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, has said. The Minister said the government would soon start construction, and that five other ECOWAS member countries would be involved. He said the design of the new project, which incorporates other member states, was under development.
He directed Julius Berger to complete rehabilitation of Apapa/Oshodi Expressway in the next eight weeks, adding that the company should take remedial works into consideration. He said that a rigid pavement would be used in reconstruction of this road, so it can take more load capacity.
The reconstruction and expansion of Lagos-Badagry Expressway road will involve expanding it from four to 10 lanes as planned in 2009. Construction works involve setting up a light rail line and a Bus Rapid Transit corridor to improve tourism and economic activities.
