The state’s blue line rail project has reached 90 percent completion, according to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The Blue Line is intended to go from Okokomaiko to Marina.
Contractors are working seven days a week, according to the governor, to ensure that Lagosians can ride a train on the line by the first quarter of 2023.
Sanwo-Olu said this on Sunday after an inspection of ongoing project progress, according to Gboyega Akosile, the governor’s top press secretary.
The governor told journalists that the state administration is on target to finish work on both the blue and red line intra-city projects, which will boost the intermodal transportation system.
He stated that the blue line rail would operate on electric rails with an electric motor vehicle (EMV) system, and that citizens should stay off the track and not walk on it.
The Lagos state government also wants to import two more sets of four-train coaches from China between September and October, according to Sanwo-Olu.
He went on to say that CCTV cameras would be installed at every train stop to provide enough protection.
“This is the first time I am taking you on the blue line to see where we are. The first phase of the blue line rail project starts from Mile 2 and terminates at Marina,” the governor was quoted as saying.
“Marina Station is an elevated station and it stretches out to outer Marina and terminates where the Governor’s residence is. At the end of the station, you could see that the track is broken into two bridges. The backtrack is for parking.
“We are happy that the contractors are working seven days a week. The major aspect apart from the Marina Station is a sea crossing from Eko Bridge to join the outer Marina.
“They would finish it in about three months, and by the time we will come back in July, the concrete construction should have been completed.”
Sanwo-Olu also gave traders under the Apogbon Bridge on Lagos Island a three-day deadline to quit or face demolition by Wednesday this week.
