Work Resumes On The Lagos-Badagry Expressway (PHOTOS)
Work has resumed on the ever-busy Lagos-Badagry Expressway. The road which links many roads and communities together has been abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic but now, the workers are back on site.
According to a release by the company, it reads CCECC Nig. Ltd., upon work resumption in May from the lockdown, made efforts to regain all lost time in order to complete all lanes at the section covering Trade-Fair to LASU on the Lagos–Badagry Expressway project at a constrained time frame.
Over 2.7km of construction has been completed on the service lane and 2.3km on the toll lane–Badagry bound. The installation of drains, kerbs, barriers, etc. is ongoing. The proposed diversion at Iyana-Iba is at the stone dust filling, spreading, and compaction stage.

The Lagos-Badagry Expressway is the local name for the Nigerian section of the Trans–West African Coastal Highway. The expressway connects Lagos, Nigeria with Dakar, Senegal.
Extensive reconstruction of the Lagos portion of the expressway began in 2010. When those renovations are completed the Lagos portion of the expressway will be widened from four lanes to ten lanes for road vehicles and a new mass transit line will operate in the median. Two of the expressway’s lanes are intended to be exclusively used by the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit System
