FIC Report (Lagos State) – The Lagos State Government has announced a partial road closure on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway to enable the Federal Ministry of Works carry out critical rehabilitation works on failed sections of the road.
Speaking on the development, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said, “The rehabilitation will cover the stretch from the U-Turn Bus Stop to the Sango Tollgate, affecting both inbound and outbound lanes.”
The rehabilitation work is scheduled to commence on Wednesday, 11th February, 2026, and end on Wednesday, 11th March, 2026, spanning a period of four weeks.
“The project will be executed in two phases to minimize traffic disruption,” Mr. Osiyemi said. “Phase One will cover Abeokuta-bound traffic from U-Turn Bus Stop to Sango Tollgate, while Phase Two will cover Lagos-bound traffic from Obadeyi Bus Stop to Ekoro Junction.”
During Phase One, traffic from Lagos/Abule-Egba inward Abeokuta/Sango Tollgate will be diverted to one half of the carriageway, approximately 20 meters away from the active work zone.
“The rehabilitation will be carried out on one lane at a time,” Mr. Osiyemi explained. “Upon completion of the first half, traffic will be diverted to the rehabilitated section while work continues on the other half.”
Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, obey traffic signage, and cooperate with traffic officials on duty.
“The State Government assures road users that adequate traffic management measures will be in place throughout the duration of the project,” Mr. Osiyemi said.
