In Nigeria plans are in hand for the rebuilding of two key connections, the Lagos-Badagry Expressway and the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway. Contractor 7740 Julius Berger is carrying out the work on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway and this should be complete before the end of 2014. Meanwhile Lagos State looks set to handle the widening and improvement work required for the Lagos-Badagry Expressway project. At the moment the Lagos-Badagry Expressway features two lanes in either direction, however this is proving unable to cope with traffic volumes and the plans call for the link to be widened, with five lanes in either direction. The project would also encompass dedicated bus lanes as well as a light rail link. The cost of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway upgrade project has yet to be revealed.
