Lagos-Badagry Expressway: See The Bad Roads Motorists Go Through Daily

Ever since the residents of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway have been crying out to both the Lagos State Government and the Federal Government of Nigeria over the state of their roads, many do not understand the pains and agony they go through daily on this road.

The road which ought to have been completed and link to various parts of the state has been a death row, a journey that ought to last for minutes lasts for several hours all thanks to the abandoned roads and the number of cars plying this road daily. For the records, this road has a closed boundary and link to other West African countries like Benin, Togo and many more.

Early this month, The Lagos State Government flagged off the reconstruction of this road with the Chinese giant firm, CCECC, while we await the total re-construction and the palliative work to start, we felt we need to re-visit the pains and the agony of residents of this place. The Lagos-Badagry Expressway is a nightmare to all motorists, pain to road users and headache to business owners in this area.

The bad roads which start from Mile 2 all the way to Badagry leave motorists no option than to take the one-way which leaves the road blocked and most times at a standstill.

AutoReportNG got some daily pictures from the residents that give a daily update on this road, according to reports which used to cover areas like Ojo, Underbridge, Iyana-Iba, Okokomaiko, Iyana-Isashi among others.

According to the images we got, we can confirm that some work has already started in some parts of the road, this can be seen from places like Ojo, Iyana-Iba as been reported.

These are some of the images who got for you...

See The Bad State of Mile 2-Tincan Road That Lagos State Government Will Be Repairing

AutoReportNG broke the news early this morning that the Lagos State Government is embarking on a palliative work on the Mile 2-Tincan Road for days which means the road will be closed. For those who are not in Lagos, they may not understand the nightmare road users go through daily on this road. 

Those living in Mile 2, Apapa, FESTAC and other roads spend a minimum of 3 to hours daily. With this palliative work being embarked by the Lagos State Government, this will go a long way to relieve the road users and also help to fast track their movement now that the federal government has mandated the trucks off the highway.
