Work Resumes At The Mile 2 Section Of Lagos-Badagry Expressway (PHOTOS)
Work has resumed on the Mile 2 section of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Lagos. The Mile 2 section of the expressway has the same route with the trade fair axis and also to the popular Alaba International Market, the largest electronic market in Africa.
The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Ltd (CCECC ) the company handling the project has since embarked on rehabilitation works along this route and work has since started.
These are photos from the Mile 2 axis site.
The Lagos-Badagry expressway, a route which connects Nigeria to other West African countries through the Seme Border, and a major gateway into the country has been in decrepit condition and remained a death trap to motorists and passengers who ply the road. It is not only a gateway to the country, it also leads to the Lagos International Trade Fair, Alaba International Market, the Lagos State University, the ancient city of Badagry, and countless residential communities.
The Lagos state government began the construction of the road 10 years ago. On leaving office, former Governor Babatunde Fashola who began construction and expansion of the road to 10 lanes assured residents and road users that his successor, whom, he said, understood the project thoroughly, would complete the road.
