Lagos State Government has announced the completion of the Lagos-bound Chevron to Admiralty stretch on the Lekki–Ajah Road, marking progress in the upgrade of one of the state’s busiest corridors.
The update was shared on Wednesday, the 25th of February, 2026, via the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation.
The 9-kilometre Lagos-bound carriageway was finished in 27 days, ahead of the 41-day target. Officials described it as part of the larger 28-kilometre rehabilitation project running from the Lekki–Ajah Bridge to Admiralty across both carriageways.
Work along the corridor is being carried out in phases to minimise traffic disruption. While the Lagos-bound stretch is complete, construction on the Epe-bound carriageway will start soon.
Special Adviser on Infrastructure, Engr. Olufemi Daramola, said the phased approach ensures systematic delivery without creating gridlock along the heavily used Lekki–Ajah axis.
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, credited the early delivery to a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan, which included deployment of personnel, continuous on-ground supervision, and real-time monitoring.
Authorities thanked commuters and residents for their cooperation and noted that traffic control measures would continue as work progresses along remaining sections.
This completion follows the recent delivery of the Chevron–Chisco stretch on the Lekki–Epe Expressway, which included asphalt resurfacing and drainage repairs. Under a segmentation plan dividing the expressway into six sections, the Chevron–Igbo-Efon, Igbo-Efon–Jakande, and Jakande–Chisco stretches covering 4.51 kilometres have been finished.

Rehabilitation work on the Lekki–Epe Expressway began on the 25th of January, 2026, spanning 20 kilometres from Admiralty to Jubilee Bridge on both carriageways, with a total timeline of 64 days.
Originally scheduled for November 2025, the project was postponed over the Yuletide season despite contracts being awarded.
The Lekki–Epe corridor links Victoria Island, Lekki, and the Epe axis. It serves thousands of commuters daily and facilitates the movement of goods across Lagos State. The rehabilitation uses flexible asphalt technology and is divided into eight sections to limit traffic disruption while maintaining steady progress.
Officials say the phased upgrades are part of broader efforts to improve infrastructure, ease traffic pressures, and enhance mobility along the rapidly growing Lekki corridor.
