Motorists travelling along the Lekki-Epe Expressway should prepare for possible traffic delays.
This is because the Lagos State Government has begun a 35-day rehabilitation exercise covering damaged sections of the busy corridor today.
The repair exercise is expected to last 35 days, with resultant snarls and gridlocks
The road repairs, scheduled to commence on Thursday, October 15, 2026, will affect sections stretching from Bonny Camp to Admiralty Way Junction, as well as areas around Victoria Garden City (VGC).
The project is aimed at improving road conditions, enhancing motorists’ safety and easing movement along one of Lagos State’s busiest transport corridors.
However, the rehabilitation could increase travel times for commuters, residents and commercial drivers who depend on the expressway to reach Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah and communities farther towards Epe.
The Lagos State Government has said traffic diversion arrangements will be introduced to minimise disruption during the exercise.
According to reports on the government’s stakeholders’ engagement, officials have also been urged to ensure adequate traffic management, maintain alternative routes and provide security throughout the construction period.

Motorists are therefore advised to plan their journeys ahead, monitor traffic updates and consider alternative routes where appropriate.
Which Roads Should Motorists Avoid During Lekki-Epe Repairs?
The affected expressway sections and nearby junctions are likely to experience slower traffic, particularly when construction activity, lane restrictions or diversion arrangements affect the normal flow of vehicles.
Motorists should pay particular attention to the following locations.
- Bonny Camp to Admiralty Way Junction
Junction stretch is among the sections identified for rehabilitation.
Drivers travelling between Victoria Island and the Lekki axis should allow additional time for their journeys and watch out for temporary lane restrictions, construction equipment and traffic control points.
Where possible, commuters should consider whether their trips can be rescheduled outside peak periods.
- Admiralty Way Junction and Its Connecting Roads
Admiralty Way Junction is an important access point for motorists travelling into and out of the Lekki corridor.
Construction-related restrictions around the junction could affect drivers heading towards Lekki Phase 1, nearby residential estates and commercial districts.
Motorists should avoid making unnecessary turns or attempting to bypass queues through restricted access roads. Such manoeuvres can worsen congestion and create safety risks.
- The Victoria Garden City (VGC) Axis
Sections around VGC are also included in the announced rehabilitation exercise.
Drivers travelling between VGC, Ajah and communities farther along the expressway should check traffic conditions before departure, especially if they have appointments, school runs or work commitments.
Motorists should also be prepared for slower movement near construction areas and any junctions affected by temporary traffic management.
- Connecting Roads Around Lekki and Ajah
Roads feeding traffic into the Lekki-Epe Expressway may experience additional pressure when motorists seek to avoid construction delays.
