Lagos government has announced the diversion of traffic along Funsho Williams Avenue for the installation of truck barriers on the road.
Gatekeepers News reports that according to the state government, traffic will be diverted along the route for three nights between 10pm to 6am, effective from today.
The government in a statement released on Thursday, asked motorists to use alternative routes during the installation.
The statement read, “Motorists from Eko Bridge/Costain/Iponri inbound Ojuelegba/Alhaji Masha Road will be diverted to the service lane from Alaka via National Stadium gate to link Barracks or Alhaji Masha Road to continue their journeys.
“Motorists from Eko Bridge via Costain and those from Apapa Road going through Iponri will make use of Iponri Estate road to link Bode Thomas via Adeniran Ogunsanya to Shitta Roundabout for their desired destinations.”
It added that the installation is in line with the prohibition of trucks and articulated vehicles on some bridges within the state.
In recent times, Lagos has witnessed a spate of accidents involving heavy-duty vehicles at bridges.
In January, nine bus passengers were killed when a container-laden truck fell off the Ojuelegba bridge.
