In today’s video we will be taking a look at the newly commissioned Apapa Oshodi Oworoshoki expressway with our main focus on the mile 2 Tincan Liverpool corridor which is also known as the port corridor because it houses the Apapa port and the tin can island port. This corridor also a major hub for different tanks farm distributing petroleum products.
For those who might not know, this corridor use to be one of the worst place in Lagos as this whole corridor used to be totally locked down with gridlock by trucks for over 12 years making the whole corridor unmotorable.
You can only drive to mile 2 before now even getting to mile 2 at times is not possible as heavy duty trucks turn the whole road to their parking spot.
But right now as you can see the road is now free and it is now totally free from the regular gridlock associated with this area. Hopefully it will remain like this as some sort of sanity has been restored back to this corridor and vehicles now ply this road now without fear.
Apart from trucks who turned this area to their parking spot. The road was also in a bad shape before the intervention of the federal government through tax credits schemes with the Dangote group and hi tech construction Nigeria limited as the subcontractor.
The road was reconstructed using concrete reinforcement methods as this will make the road last longer. This method is also being used for the Lagos Calabar coastal highway which is also being constructed by the same contractor hi tech construction Nigeria limited.
The road now makes accessing the Apapa Port and tin can island port more easier as those in charge of the maritime sector which includes the Nigeria port authority (NPA), the truckers amongst others stakeholders with also support from the Lagos State Government to work out a plan in which the trucks are not allowed to park illegally on the expressway. Thereby making commuting for all vehicles within this corridor free from the usual grid lock.
This has also helps a lot of businesses and residents who moved out of Apapa as a result of the gridlock now thinks of moving back. Hopefully this is sustained and there will be more improvements.
