Lagos Adopts Rigid Pavement For 18.75km Eleko-Epe Expressway (VIDEO)

In what can be called a masterpiece, the Lagos State Government seems to have adopted the concrete pavement for the 18km Eleko-Epe Expressway in Lagos State. The area is said to be flood-prone so the best option is going the concrete way.

The first phase of the project, stretching from Eleko to T-Junction in Epe, is expected to be completed in 20 months.

It will be recalled that in November 2020, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, rolled out a major infrastructural overhaul in the Epe Division of the State, flagging off the reconstruction of Eti Osa-Lekki-Epe Expressway 40 years after.

The first phase of the road will be completed in 20 months, will cover 18.75 kilometers, stretching from Eleko to T-Junction in Epe.

The road was constructed in 1981 as a single carriageway but underwent an upgrade to a two-lane carriageway in 2006. Its condition, however, became deplorable as a result of population growth and increased vehicular traffic.

The company handling the construction of the road is Craneburg Construction Company.
