Parked tankers and heavy-duty trucks are backed to expressways in Lagos State. This is coming after a few months of absence from the roads.
Lately, a long queue of the parked tankers can be noticed along some expressways in the state. Affected expressways include Ikorodu-Expressways leading to Eko Bridge, and to some Apapa roads.
Recall that, sometime in May this year, the Nigerian Presidency issued a directive for the immediate clearing up of the Apapa gridlock and the restoration of law and order in its environs within 2 weeks.
Less than a week after that directive was issued, parked trucks are speedily disappearing from major roads and bridges.
Roads affected are those that lead to the two seaports in Lagos state – the Apapa Port Complex and the Tin Can Island Port.
The period of the absence of the parked tankers on the expressways gave the roads a more organize outlook. This enabled a free flow of traffic on the busy expressways.
Traffic gridlock at the Apapa axis of Lagos state has been a major cause for concern as it has made doing business at the seaport and the surrounding environment tedious.
The recent return of the parked heavy-duty trucks has given rise to gridlock on affected roads.
