Construction works on the Ajah reinforced concrete flyover in Nigeria is in progress. Lagos State Government approved the project and awarded the contract to Messrs Hitech Construction Company Ltd to deliver the project.
On completion the bridge is expected to alleviate the traffic gridlocks which has been experienced by the Ajah motorists and even those in the neighborhood. According to a statement signed by Engr. Ganiyu. A. Johnson, Commissioner in the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, vehicles will not be allowed to use the Ajah round about.
The traffic management has provided available diversion/alternative roads following its strategy to minimise the effects of the road closure on motorists during the construction period. The traffic management has constructed a 2-lane dual carriageway running between the existing carriageway of the Eti Osa/Lekki-Epe Expressway. The fence of the Royal Garden Estate shall serve as the main diversion in both directions.
The management has also issued closure of the Ajah intersection notice. Motorists and other road users are therefore advised to use any of the provided diversion roads. The following routes are the official diversions issued by the management.
