• Dualises Irede, Mumuni Adio carriageway; revamps Navy Town, Old Ojo Roads.
The wave of projects’ commissioning in Lagos State continued on Tuesday, as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu inaugurated four newly completed road projects in Oriade town of Amuwo Odofin.
The Governor inaugurated the reconstructed Old Ojo Road, opening a faster alternative route for commuters travelling on Lagos Badagry.
Sanwo-Olu also commissioned the newly rehabilitated and upgraded Mumuni Adio (formerly Buba Marwa) Road, Irede Road and Navy Town Road — all in the Oriade axis of Amuwo Odofin.
The projects were part of the 36-road infrastructure completed across the three senatorial districts by the Sanwo-Olu administration.
The 7.65 kilometre long Old Ojo Road, which extends from Irede to Maza Maza, was split into two construction phases. The completed first phase, which spans 4km from Irede Road to Oluti Bus Stop, was commissioned among the four projects inaugurated. The second phase, Sanwo-Olu pledged, would be signed off in the coming quarters.
The Governor said the 2.2 km-long Irede Road was a single carriageway before it was expanded and dualised with Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP). The infrastructure Sanwo-Olu said, will serve commuters connecting Lagos-Badagry Expressway at Trade Fair Bus Stop.
The Irede Road also serves as the gateway to Irede Jetty — a vital link for water transportation to several riverine communities, including Ibasa, Ibeshe, Ilashe and Imoore.
Sanwo-Olu said: “Today, we are commissioning yet another network of roads on the ever-growing list of life-changing public infrastructure that we have delivered to our people. Before now, one of the most critical challenges constantly experienced by residents and road users along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and environs, is the perennial gridlock, translating into travel inconvenience, loss of productive time, frustration and stress.
