The Lagos State government has published a travel advisory for residents in the Lekki-Ajah corridor.
In a publication by Yomi Benson,
Chairman, Communications Committee, Lekki Estates Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA), the government appealed for understanding and urged residents to take the alternative routes already advised.
The publication:
Dear Esteemed Members of LERSA,
As part of the ongoing improvements to the Lekki–Ajah corridor, the contractor Craneburg has commenced the final stage of works to construct a new intersection at Abraham Adesanya Junction, 00which will connect Ogombo Road approximately 200 meters into the corridor. This important intervention will significantly enhance traffic organization and connectivity within the axis once completed.
Work on this phase commenced lightly today, Friday 13th March 2026, and is expected to run for approximately0 two (2) weeks. Should any extension become necessary, the community will be duly informed.
We also wish to apologise for bringing this advisory to members at this late stage. The delay in communication was due to logistical exigencies surrounding the project’s final mobilization, and we appreciate your understanding.
During this construction window, traffic pressure is expected to increase around the Abraham Adesanya corridor, particularly for motorists attempting to link the Coastal Road. To reduce congestion and maintain smoother movement across the Peninsula, we strongly encourage residents and commuters to temporarily adopt the following alternative routes:
Recommended Alternative Routes:
Access to Coastal Road:
Motorists can enter and exit the Coastal Road via Monastery Road (popularly known as Shoprite Road, Sangotedo). This route currently offers a smoother alternative and will help decongest the Abraham Adesanya axis.
Commuters approaching via Okun-Ajah Road (off Coastal Road):
Drivers may either turn right through Ogombo Town, or continue along Ogombo Road and turn left via Laura Stevens Road, which connects to Mobil Road through Ilaje and onward to Ajah.
By spreading traffic across these alternative routes, we can collectively reduce gridlock, support the construction process, and protect valuable commuting time for residents and road users.
We kindly urge estate leaders, residents, and commuters to take note of this advisory and adjust their travel plans accordingly for the duration of the works.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and continued support as we work together toward improved infrastructure and a more efficient road network across the Lekki Peninsula.
Warm regards.
