Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is expected on Friday to visit Apapa, Lagos State due to the gridlock on the Oshodi-Apapa expressway.

The expressway has in recent days been gripped with gridlock after some trucks and tankers parked on road taking over the major lanes of the highway.

Motorists and commuters who ply Apapa Oshodi Expressway on Wednesday lamented over the gridlock, blaming it on trucks, which they said have taken over the entire six lanes of the highway stretching beyond the Isolo area.

“The vehicles formed long queues that extended from Mile 2 down to Toyota Bus Stop. I left my office, 6:45 p.m. and didn’t get home until 2:00 a.m,” a resident of Festac Town who uses the road daily told Channels Television on Wednesday.

Lagos State Government in reaction to the gridlock sympathised with the residents and commuters. They urged the Federal Ministry of Works, Power and Housing to consider shifting the proposed closure dates for the Third Mainland Bridge to a later date.
