Passengers and motorists are going through hell passing through Osolo Way due to ongoing reconstruction work on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway which has left them with no other alternative to Five Star Bus stop to DHL Bridge.

As the reconstruction work progressed to the service lane of the express way, the influx of vehicles on Osolo Way has been building heavy traffic jams on the axis.

The traffic has already built up along Oshodi route as vehicles share one lane, turning it to one-way due to the ongoing work on the service lane.

The engineers on the road have barricaded the major road to give them access to seamlessly work on the road.

To avert traffic delay, some vehicles divert to plying Osolo Way down to 7/8 junction to connect back to Oshodi route.

However, despite the alternative means, commuters are still held up in the traffic on Osolo Way as more vehicles concentrate on that axis as an escape route.

Some of the commuters who spoke to ECHONEWS said though it was annoying facing stress in the traffic on a daily basis, they expressed their joy over the project, saying the development would yield a convenient transportation system worth waiting for.

Meanwhile, the commuters would have to endure for a long period of tine as the level of the ongoing project is still at preparatory level of digging and laying of pipes after which the engineers would move to the surface level of grading and other works.
