The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion on some major Roads in the State. According to report, the affected Roads are Adeniji through Falomo, Bourdillon and Queens Drive in Ikoyi, Lagos Island.
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi. He stated that the diversion aims to facilitate the repair of deteriorated asphaltic sections on the Roads.
The Commissioner stated that the repair works is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 13, 2024. It is expected to last until November 7, 2024 – a total of six months.
The Commissioner, however, said, “To mitigate the traffic implications, the repair works will be conducted in phases. Phase 1 will focus on the stretch from Glover Road Junction on Alfred Rewane Road to Falomo Roundabout. Work will start from Monday, May 13, 2024. During this phase, the portion of the Road from Glover Junction to Falomo Roundabout will be closed to traffic.
“For the period of the 1st Phase repair works, motorists on Alfred Rewane Road heading towards Falomo Roundabout will turn left at Glover Road Junction onto Thompson Avenue. They will access Falomo Bridge through Bourdillon Road and continue their journeys.
“The other side of the road will be open to traffic (i.e. Falomo Roundabout heading towards Mainland),” Osiyemi said.
The Commissioner, therefore, urged motorists to exercise patience. He said the partial closure is an integral part of the traffic management strategy for the rehabilitation of the asphalt pavement on the affected road sections by the Federal Ministry of Works.
