Sanwoolu Unveils Ikeja Overpass

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has unveiled the Ikeja overpass on Tuesday.

The Managing Director, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, revealed this in a statement on Monday signed by the agency’s Head, Corporate Communications, Kolawole Ojelabi.

“The bridge is one of five overpasses ceded to Lagos State for construction over the Red Line corridor where the Nigeria Railway Corporation and Red Line will share tracks,” the statement noted.

It quoted the Managing Director of LAMATA, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, as stating that “the Ikeja overpass is the fourth to be inaugurated within the last two months.”

The LAMATA MD added that the overpasses were built to separate vehicular/pedestrian traffic from train traffic, saying that the opening of the Ikeja overpass would drastically reduce congestion on the Obafemi Awolowo Way and the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and old Lagos Abeokuta Motorway.
