[4] In April 2008, the Lagos State Government approved ₦ 70 billion for construction of the Okokomaiko-Iddo-Marina Line, with an estimated completion date of 2011.[6] The proposed advantages of the blue line are that is will allow commuters to spend less time travelling in the area by avoiding traffic jams which can take many hours to get through, whilst also being cheaper.[1] The contract was awarded to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC),[7] with advisory services being provided by CPCS Transcom Limited.The Blue Line will run 27 kilometres (17 mi) from Okokomaiko to Lagos Marina,[6][11] with 13 stations and an end-to-end journey time of 35 minutes.The entire Blue Line will operate over a secure and exclusive right-of-way, with no level crossings and no uncontrolled access by pedestrians or vehicles.
