Lagos motorists face delays due to collapsed access ramp
Motorists using the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway are frustrated by a collapsed section of an access ramp connecting to the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway bridge. The damaged area, worsened by recent rainfall, has caused significant traffic congestion and safety concerns. Drivers like Suleiman, Gilbert Adebayo, and Joseph Okonkwo described the situation as dangerous and called for urgent repairs. Attempts to reach the state Ministry of Works and Infrastructure for comments were unsuccessful.
What happened
- The collapsed ramp has forced vehicles to slow down, leading to heavy traffic congestion.
- Flooding from recent rainfall has submerged the damaged section, making it hard for drivers to gauge the extent of the problem.
- Suleiman noted that the issue existed before the rains, but the situation has deteriorated further.
- Gilbert Adebayo warned that the area poses a security risk, especially at night.
- Motorists are urging the Ministry of Works and relevant agencies to repair the ramp before the damage worsens.
