Scrapped Roundabout: Will The New Traffic System Solve Lekki Traffic Woes?

 The 4th Roundabout at the Lekki Epe Expressway has been scrapped for expanded lanes and dedicated turning lanes. Has this solved the traffic issues? Send your experience tomypropertiesweekly@gmail.com

Residents of estates in Lekki from the Elegushi axis down to Ibeju Lekki are frequently subjected to harrowing traffic, especially during peak travel times in the mornings and evenings. The Lagos State Government has responded with the construction of an overhead bridge in Ajah and this is expected to deal with most of the traffic.

There are however, serious bottlenecks at the various roundabouts along the Lekki Expressway. The Government has responded again with a plan to demolish many of the roundabouts and replace them with expanded lanes ands dedicated turning lanes.

In December 2016, this was effected at the 4th Roundabout (Elegushi) and 5th Roundabout (Jakande).
Has this sorted the bottlenecks? Comments on our Facebook Page show that while some of the users believe it has, others say that the situation has not changed. We will keep monitoring the situation and welcome readers feedback.
