The commissioner stated further that alternative routes are already in place for the 25 per cent section affected by the road. On the Lagos- Abeokuta Expressway, Adeyoye stated that rehabilitation of the Abule-Egba-Toll Gate route of the road is being delayed due to the procurement process. “The officers have been retrained for this exercise. They are to ensure that the free flow of traffic is not jeopardized,” said Fayinka.
Opeifa maintained that with the level of preparedness by the Federal and Lagos State governments, there will be no other reason for congestion except the unruliness of motorists who refuse to cooperate with traffic management personnel.

Adedamola Kuti reiterated the state government’s assurance of the free flow of traffic during the execution of the project.
