Project Background
The Oshodi to Ikorodu BRT System project is a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing transportation connectivity and efficiency in Lagos State. This project, financed by the Lagos State Government, AFD, and the World Bank, addresses the pressing need for improved public transportation infrastructure along the Oshodi to Ikorodu corridor.
Statement Of Problem
The existing transportation infrastructure between Oshodi and Ikorodu is insufficient to meet the growing demands of commuters. Congestion, limited capacity, and inadequate facilities hinder mobility and economic development in the region. Recognizing these challenges, the Lagos State Government initiated the Oshodi to Ikorodu BRT System project to address these issues and provide a modern, efficient public transportation solution.
Proposed Solution
The project involves the construction of a dual carriageway consisting of six lanes, along with associated BRT infrastructure. This includes BRT terminals, depots, bridges, pedestrian bridges, BRT bus stop stations, shelters, roadways, street lighting, and building infrastructures. The aim is to create a seamless and efficient BRT system that improves mobility and accessibility for commuters.
Project Scope of Work & Award
Our firm was tasked with providing preliminary and detailed engineering design, feasibility and prioritization studies, environmental and social impact assessments, bill of engineering measurement and evaluation, prioritization of bus stops and pedestrian bridge locations, and construction supervision. The project, valued at $350,040.00 and N67,650,000.00, commenced on October 7, 2011, and is ongoing.
Project Benefits
Upon completion, the Oshodi to Ikorodu BRT System project will significantly improve transportation efficiency and connectivity along the corridor. It will alleviate congestion, reduce travel times, and enhance the overall commuting experience for residents. Additionally, the project will stimulate economic development, create job opportunities, and contribute to the sustainable growth of Lagos State.
This initiative aligns with the broader goal of promoting sustainable urban development and improving the quality of life for residents. With our expertise and dedication, we are committed to delivering a world-class BRT system that meets the needs of commuters and facilitates the continued growth and prosperity of Lagos State.
