Lagos To Divert Traffic On Ikorodu Road From Tuesday

Lagos State Government has announced that there will be a six days traffic diversion on the Yaba-bound lane of Ikorodu Road from Tuesday, August 31.

Gatekeepers News reports that the announcement was made on Monday via a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde.

He stated that the diversion is to allow for the construction of drainages.

Oladeinde explained that the drainage works were necessary due to the rainy season, adding that the project will ease the movement of motorists and road users.

He revealed that motorists will be able to utilise the service lane connecting Olaide Benson, Ismail Estate, Third Road Avenue, Iya Oloye Crescent Junctions and existing entrances into the expressway at Seaburn Motors and Uber Inspection Centre.

“The Exit from Anthony-Ikorodu Expressway at Uber Inspection centre linking the service lane and connecting Oshodi Road is to be temporarily blocked and a temporary exit to the service lane connecting Oshodi Road will be created about 200 meters away at the NLPC Pension Fund”, the Commissioner noted.

He stated that personnel of the Lagos Traffic Management Authority will be deployed in the area to minimise inconveniences, as he appealed to motorists to cooperate with them.

The Commissioner revealed that the repairs are geared towards eliminating gridlock that may emanate from flood and damage to the roads.
