“Tolling will commence on April 1, 2022 but commuters plying the corridor will not have to pay any toll for the first two weeks until 15th April, 2022 as this period would be toll-free to all motorists plying the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.” The statement read in parts.
Omomuwasan said: “We have introduced new technology and innovations to make passages at the Toll Plaza seamless and faster for commuters. We are replacing old toll devices with upgraded ones for faster throughput at the Toll Plaza.”
