Every day, the Lekki-Epe Expressway bears the weight of hundreds of articulated trucks ferrying cargo from key installations including the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Dangote Refinery, and the Lekki Deep Sea Port, along with other industrial and commercial facilities lining the corridor.
With only one major entry and exit route, the corridor has become a pressure point where a surge in industrial activities meets fragile infrastructure.
To prevent a major future traffic crisis similar to the one that plagued Apapa and Tin Can ports a few years ago, the Lagos State Government reintroduced its electronic call-up system on June 16, 2025, after suspending it in March.
