The government’s intervention of the dilapidated roads would see the entire stretch from Eleko to Epe dualised on the rigid pavement, with three lanes on each side. A lane on each side will be dedicated as toll weighbridges only for heavy-duty vehicles.

When completed, the road will connect several communities, including Eleko, Onosa, Alatishe, Aiyeteju, Ajaganagbe, Oko Orisa, Ilasan, Lekki, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe.

The contractor, Craneburg Construction, will also build reinforced concrete drains, culverts, median barriers as well as install traffic lights on the roads.
