Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst traffic, travel early in the morning (before 6:30 AM) or during the late morning (after 10:00 AM). Mid-day travel (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) is also generally better. Avoid peak evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially on long routes or late at night. Be vigilant with your belongings in crowded areas like Mile 2 and Oshodi. The Badagry Expressway can feel isolated in some sections during evening hours.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of this journey, specifically from CMS/Obalende to Mile 2, offering a more structured and often faster option for that segment. There are no direct local flight or train options for this intrastate route within Lagos.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
