To protect safety, just one lane will be available to drivers on the Oshodi-bound side of the road from the Ile Zik Bus Stop up to the Conoil Petrol Filling Station.
The Lagos State Government has declared that from Saturday, August 17 to Sunday, August 18, 2024, between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 4:00 am daily, traffic at the Ikeja Along Bus Stop between Ile Zik and Conoil Petrol Station will be diverted onto the Oshodi bound lane.
The old pedestrian bridge will be safely and smoothly demolished thanks to the diversion.
To protect safety, just one lane will be available to drivers on the Oshodi-bound side of the road from the Ile Zik Bus Stop up to the Conoil Petrol Filling Station.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, explained that the traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba-bound side of the road during the course of the demolition, adding that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, will be on ground to manage vehicular movement and minimize inconveniences.
Osiyemi called for the cooperation of the motoring public, adding that the lanes will be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to keep motorists and commuters safe during the period of the demolition.
The commissioner urged motorists to be patient, as the closure is part of the traffic management plans for the safe removal of the old pedestrian bridge by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA.
