Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commissioned the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line Ikeja Overpass Bridge, reiterating that his administration remains committed to “a transport system that is safe, sustainable, integrated, seamless, and with the potential to drive the socio-economic growth and development of the state and indeed Nigeria.”

Governor Sanwo-Olu, joined by his Kwara State counterpart AbdulRahman AbdulRasak, stated that the overpass bridge, the fourth to be commissioned, signifies his government’s commitment to the safety of the people by developing a permanent solution to the recurring fatal vehicle/train accidents at railway crossings.

“The completion and formal commissioning of this safety infrastructure is a precursor to the commencement of passenger operations of the Red Line, which will be commissioned by our dear President, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the first quarter of next year.

“In the last four-and-a-half years of our administration, we have prioritized the implementation of our integrated transportation system under the traffic management and transportation pillar of the THEMES+ agenda.

“As a result, we have delivered life-enhancing transport infrastructures, which are making life easier for the average Lagosian”.

“The LRMT Red Line Rail System, the first phase of which we project will move more than 500,000 passengers daily, stretches over a distance of 27 kilometres from Agbado to Oyingbo, with eight stations at Agbado, Iju, Agege, Ikeja, Oshodi, Mushin, Yaba, and terminates at Oyingbo”.
