The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said on Sunday that the rainy season would not stop or slow down work on the various critical road projects going on in the state.
He said many of the roads were near completion and would greatly ease traffic gridlock in the city on completion.
Sanwo-Olu, in a post on X.com on Sunday, said state officials embarked on an inspection tour of the various road projects.
The governor said among others, the officials went on a tour “to inspect the progress of work on the Opebi-Mende-Ojota Link Bridge and other arterial roads connecting it.”
According to him, the bridge was designed to address major traffic issues and provide alternative routes for motorists traveling from Toyin, Allen, Opebi to Ojota.
“Once finished, it will benefit those commuting from Maryland to Ikeja and surrounding areas,” the governor wrote.
