  By allcitynews.ng  Lagos State Government has announced partial closure of  Lekki-Epe road over repairs work.  Based on this, motorists travelling along the Lekki-Epe Expressway should prepare for possible traffic delays based on the 35-day rehabilitation exercise covering damaged sections of the busy corridor today.
