We’ve fulfilled our pledge — Governor*
Mushin Flyover, the last of the five overpasses built along the Red Line corridor — is now open to traffic. Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, formally commissioned the infrastructure, bringing a new commuting experience to the axis.
The project, undertaken by Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), has brought traffic relief to motorists and commuters connecting Agege Motor Road from Onipanu, just as it solved congestions and delays associated with railway level crossing at Ogunmokun axis.
The overpass also eliminated pedestrian and vehicular interference on the rail tracks, eradicating the risk of accidents and collisions between trains and vehicles.
A euphoric crowd of residents thronged the short ceremony where the Governor, his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, and members of the State’s cabinet gathered to inaugurate the project.
Before the Mushin Flyover was completed, the Sanwo-Olu administration had opened four other bridges in Yaba, Oyingbo, Ikeja and Agege to create new connectivities along the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line, which spans 37 kilometres from Agbado to Oyingbo.
The Governor said the opening of the Mushin Flyover was another fulfillment of his administration’s promise to the residents, noting that the infrastructure had changed the face of public transportation in the State.
Sanwo-Olu said the flyover would bring relief to the issue of congestion hitherto experienced in the area, while also reducing journey time in accessing Mushin from Ilupeju axis.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed that members of the host communities benefitted from the project construction, pointing out that the construction also gave engineering students an internship opportunity to get first-hand practical knowledge.
The Governor also said the primary school demolished in the right-of-way of the flyover had been rebuilt in a nearby location, commending Mushin and Onipanu residents for supporting the development.
He charged the residents to take ownership of the infrastructure and protect it from deliberate destruction.
LAMATA Managing Director, Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, said the State Government had fully compensated owners of the buildings in the course of the project, which, she said was handled by a local contractor.
