Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the Lekki-Epe Expressway traffic. Similarly, avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM on weekdays if possible. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but Sundays can see increased movement.
Safety Rating
Medium. The Lekki-Epe Expressway is generally safe during the day. However, some stretches, especially beyond Eleko Junction towards the refinery, can be isolated. 'One-chance' vehicles are a risk, particularly when boarding shared taxis or buses from non-designated parks late in the evening. Always board from established bus stops and avoid empty or suspicious vehicles. Be extra cautious when traveling at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
