Project Background
The Oshodi to Ikorodu Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system project in Lagos State is a vital infrastructure initiative to enhance transportation connectivity and efficiency in the region. This transformative project seeks to address traffic congestion and improve commuter experience along the corridor.
Statement Of Problem
Traffic congestion along the Oshodi to Ikorodu corridor has long been a significant challenge, hindering mobility and causing inconvenience to commuters. Recognising the need for a sustainable solution, the Lagos State government embarked on the Oshodi to Ikorodu Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system project to alleviate congestion and enhance transportation efficiency in the region.
Proposed Solution
The project will feature a dual carriageway with six lanes and a central median for smoother traffic flow. Additionally, it will include the construction of six pedestrian bridges to ensure safe crossing for pedestrians and the establishment of key BRT terminals at strategic locations, including Mile 12, Majidun, Ikorodu, and Agric. The project will also involve the installation of 12 BRT bus stop shelters for enhanced passenger comfort and convenience, rehabilitating the BRT lane from Mile 12 to TBS, and upgrading flexible to rigid pavement for durability. Furthermore, the initiative will integrate modern market infrastructure and street lighting for improved urban aesthetics and safety and implement traffic system management measures to optimise traffic flow and minimise congestion. Lastly, road safety audits will be completed to ensure the safety of commuters and pedestrians along the corridor.
