The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion at Ikeja Along Bus Stop, between Ile Zik and Conoil Petrol Station, on the Oshodi-bound lane from Saturday, August 17th, to Sunday, August 18th, 2024.
The diversion will be enforced between 12 midnight and 4 a.m. daily to facilitate the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge in the area.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, explained that during the demolition process, only one lane would be available to motorists travelling on the Oshodi-bound side from Ile Zik Bus Stop to the Conoil Petrol Filling Station.
This measure is aimed at ensuring the safety of road users.
Osiyemi also clarified that the traffic diversion would not affect motorists travelling on the Dopemu/Abule Egba-bound side of the road.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be on the ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences.
The Commissioner called for the cooperation of the motoring public during the demolition period, assuring that the affected lanes will be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to enhance the safety of motorists and commuters.
