In response to the residents and road users along Agege and Pen Cinema axis clamor for a solution to the suffocating nature of the perennial gridlock occasioned by the huge human and vehicular traffic flowing through the intersection, the Lagos State Government has opened the dual carriageway flyover and five other roads at the Pen Cinema location in the Agege area of the State to residents for use.
At the inauguration of the project, the Governor explained that his administration decided to continue with the construction of a precast and pre-stressed reinforced concrete dual-carriage flyover and ramp, with road works in the area to achieve the Transportation and Traffic Management Pillar (TTMP) in its strategic THEMES Agenda.
Governor Sanwo-Olu stretched the point that the government deliberately focused on the provision of infrastructure to achieve pre-conceived targets of reducing travel time and save important man-hours that would have been otherwise lost to traffic. He was hopeful that the project would inject considerable life into the socio-economic activities of thousands of people who live, do business, or use it to connect their various destinations.
