Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, depart early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM) on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but Sundays can still see congestion returning to the Island.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel on this route is generally safe. However, evening and night travel on the Lekki-Epe Expressway can carry risks such as 'one-chance' operators, occasional highway security incidents, and poor visibility due to bad road sections or ongoing construction. It's best to travel during daylight hours.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available from Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), which is close to Onikan, and runs along the Lekki-Epe Expressway up to Ajah/Abraham Adesanya. However, there is no direct BRT service all the way to Epe. Passengers will need to transfer to a Danfo or shared taxi from Ajah/Abraham Adesanya to reach Epe. There is no rail service on this specific route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
