The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has flagged off construction of 3.89Km Opebi-Ojota road.
In a statement released by the governor via his official Facebook account as read in part:
“Today, I flagged of the construction of the 3.89-kilometre Opebi-Ojota Road to be built by Julius Berger Construction Company.
This road infrastructure will open into Ojota axis in Kosofe, taking traffic from Opebi U-Turn and into Ikorodu Road via the intersection that will be constructed under Odo Iya Alaro Bridge at Mende.
The road will be supported by a 276 metre-long deck-on-pile bridge and 474 metre-long mechanically stabilised earth-wall approach sections.
I also used the opportunity to announce that we have procured additional three sets of trains for the Lagos Blue Line Rail project expected to be completed before the end of the year.
Let me add that this new road demonstrates that we prioritize the well-being of the people of Lagos, as we are witnessing another milestone in the implementation of the Traffic Management and Transportation Pillar of our administration’s THEMES Agenda and the State Strategic Transport Master Plan (STMP).
Upon the completion of this project, it will not only provide a new link to commute around Ikeja and its environs, it will also enhance economic prosperity and life expectancy”.
