The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday finally opened the long-expected 1.4 km dual carriageway flyover at Pen Cinema junction, Agege Local Government Area of the state.
The Governor was joined with the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa and other dignitaries to flag off the bridge for motorists use.
Recall that the bridge was initially scheduled to be commissioned last week but was rescheduled to today (Friday) due to exigencies.
The Agege Pen Cinema Flyover project started in 2017 under the last administration of Akinwunmi Ambode.
Sanwo-Olu, in line with his promise of completing all ongoing projects across the state, visited the project site in January 2020 for assessment.
Sanwo-Olu again visited the project site in December 2020 to ensure that all was in order for its commissioning in the best possible time.
The Pen Cinema Bridge is a 1.4km long bridge across Iju-Fagba road and Lagos-Ota road.
The network of Agege pen cinema road comprises a main road and alternative routes.
With the opening of the Agege Pen Cinema flyover, it is expected not only to ease traffic but also reduce travel time around the axis.
