The traffic gridlock along Oshodi, Mile 2 – Apapa expressway seems to have become a permanent situation to people having one thing or the other to do along the road with no solution in sight to curb this recurring problem.

Oshodi – Apapa expressway is a 10 lane route that links to some major sea ports in Lagos where billions of naira is generated as revenue to the federal government purse.

The traffic situation especially at the mile 2 axis of the road has been most horrifying in recent times. Motorists and commuters spending 4 to 5hours on a journey not expected to have taken just 30 minutes.
