Lagos State Government has flagged off the construction of the Regional Road in Eti-Osa. The road will link VGC to Lekki and also decongest the main Lekki-Epe Expressway.
At the ground breaking ceremony held at the project site the Governor assured lagosians of keeping to their electioneering promises especially of infrastructural development in the state noting that when completed the road will bring relief to people working and living in that axis.
Governor Sanwo-Olu however described the development as “a manifestation” of his administration’s commitment towards improving socio-economic activities on the Lekki-Epe axis by the provision of supporting infrastructure.
The construction of the 8.75km-long road, being undertaken by Messrs Hi-Tech Construction Company Limited, will link Lekki-Epe Expressway at Victoria Garden City Junction to the Freedom Way in Eti Osa.
The road is also said to be a precursor to the proposed Fourth Mainland Bridge that is expected to take off from the axis.
When completed in the next 24 months, Sanwo-Olu said that the Regional Road will change the entire landscape of Eti Osa and also drive up the efficiency of Government’s traffic management strategy.
He said: “With the flag off of the construction of this critical road infrastructure, we are keeping the promise we made to Lagosians.
“When we give a commitment, we stand by it. Our word is our bond. We know what people go through on the Lekki-Epe way as a result of traffic. We are moved to hasten the process of putting the Regional Road in place to bring relief to our citizens working and living in this axis.”
“By our third anniversary in office, we will be getting ready to commission this road. That is the commitment we have given and we are going to hold the contractor to this timeline.”
