The Lagos State Government has said that it is set to provide the residents of Command and Ajasa communities in Alimosho Local Government area of the state a good road with the dualisation of the 1.9-kilometre Ajasa-Command Road.
The General Manager, Lagos State Public Works Corporation, Mr. Ayotunde Sodeinde, stated during an inspection of the project that the road, which has been in a deplorable state for a while, would soon wear a new look.
According to him, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode visited the site recently and promised the communities that the government would commence an outright rehabilitation of the stretch of Ajasa-Command Road, which serves as the link to Ipaja and Ayobo communities, in two weeks.
He added that the governor said that the reconstruction was also a measure to decongest the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway for motorists transiting through Ipaja-Ayobo, Egbeda and the LASU-Iba Road.
Sodeinde said construction projects in the state were massive, adding that a similar work was being carried out simultaneously on the 2.9km dual carriageway in Church/Giwa Street along Ekoro Road in Abule-Egba.
He said the project would go through Giwa Fagbemi end of the road, with the construction of a bridge linking Abesan Housing Estate in Ipaja Town.
“For a thorough expansion to be carried out on the roads, some unapproved roadside shops have been demolished so that other facilities like drainage alignment, walkways and streetlights could be provided to enhance the beauty of the new roads,” he said.
