Lagos State Governor, Bababjide Sanwo-Olu, has signed the contract for the construction of the second phase of the Blue Line from Mile 2 to the Okokomaiko area of the state, expected to be completed in the year 2026.
Lagos Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, prominent citizens, Lagos State Executive Council members, All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders, traditional rulers, local government chairmen, politicians, guests, traders, transport union members, among others, attended the event in large number, amid tight security.
“About three years ago, we commenced the construction of four bridges across rail lines between Oyingbo and Ikeja. The bridges, located at Ikeja, Mushin, Yaba and Oyingbo, are designed to ensure the safety of our people. “Some of the major transit spines are already receiving attention. These include Ikorodu Road, Oshodi-Lagos Abeokuta Motor/Expressway to the border between Lagos and Ogun state at Ota, Lekki Epe Expressway, Berger to CMS and Lagos Badagry Expressway.
“We are looking at other rail lines for implementation. These are the Green Line, a 68-kilometre rail route from Marina to Lekki Free Zone and the Purple Line, 60 kilometres in length from Redemption Camp to Ojo. “I want to appeal to our informal bus operators that the era of lining their buses on the roadway is over. Please ensure that buses are parked within the space provided for your operations.”
“The traffic management and transportation agenda is anchored on a sustainable intermodal integrated system. Speaking on the completion of the overpass bridge, Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, Engr. Abimbola Akinajo said the overpass bridge will eliminate incessant accidents at level crossings as well as facilitate unhindered movement for the Red Line trains whose frequency will be very high.
