Residents and motorists that frequent the popular Ladipo spare parts market can finally heave a sigh of relief, as Lagos State Government has announced that it would begin an extensive rehabilitation of major link roads across the state, including roads in and around Ladipo market. The State government said this was in continuation of its drive to ensure smooth flow of traffic in the area. Deputy Director, Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Mr Sina Thorpe, said in a statement on Sunday that having realized the economic value of Ladipo Street, a 2.87km road that connects Agege motor road to Apapa Oshodi Expressway service lane at Toyota Bustop, it became crucial to rehabilitate and upgrade the roads around Ladipo area to a dual carriage-way. Thorpe, who was responding to a report in a national daily of traders in the Ladipo Auto Spare Parts Market area, who were lamenting about the state of the roads, said the State Government was also rehabilitating and upgrading AlhajaAkinwunmi Street, a strategic road that connects Ladipo Street to Apapa Oshodi Expressway at Five Star Bus stop, including Obagun road, which links Badejo Kalejaiye street with Fatai Atere Way, which in turn connects Ladipo Street with Agege Motor Road. He added that to ensure the interconnectivity to these network of roads and to ease traffic in the corridor, part of the ongoing expansion and upgrading of the Oshodi International Airport Road would see the provision of a U-Turn ramped bridge, to serve the motorists in the area. He further urged roads users and commuters along the corridor to coöperate with the contractor, to speedily deliver the road projects as scheduled.
