She said the road projects were undertaken to avert gridlock in major economic, commercial and residential areas to reduce travel time.

“These projects will make commuting stress-free, life more meaningful for the people and ensure connectivity within the various communities in the state,” she said.

According to her, the projects are in line with the THEMES agenda, especially the first pillar T, which stands for traffic management and transportation.

She listed the roads to include: Oba Sekunmade Road, Agric Isawo Road, St. Finbarrs and Iwaya Roads, Lekki-Epe Expressway, from Eleko Junction to Epe T junction and also Lekki Regional road project.

She said other road projects recently awarded included: Hospital Road in Badagry, Construction of Muwo Jetty in Ojo, Abaranje road network in Alimosho, Reverend Braithwaite in Epe.

Aramide said Sanwo-Olu would formally flag off the construction of a new ultramodern Massey Street Children’s hospital and the reconstruction/rehabilitation of Adeniji Adele Road under the Lagos Island Area North Action Plan on April 28.

She said other newly awarded projects were: reconstruction of Moshalashi Street, Shomolu, rehabilitation/upgrading of Ademoye/Alake Lakonko Street in Alimosho, reconstruction of Onilegbale in Eti Osa, among others.

She expressed the commitment of the Sanwo-Olu administration to ensuring the speedy completion of all the ongoing projects.

Adeyoye said the Lagos State Public Works Corporation had maintained 632 inner roads covering 192 kilometers in addition to over 24 public infrastructure to ensure the comfort of Lagos residents.

She also said some road projects were undertaken by the Federal Government in harmony with the state government to ensure a seamless motoring experience for residents.
