The Lagos State Government has announced a four-week traffic diversion plan to facilitate the first phase of the rehabilitation of the Adeniji, Falomo and Bourdillon road stretch in the Ikoyi areas of the state.
Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced in a statement on Tuesday that traffic will be diverted from Alfred Rewane and Osborne through the Osborne Foreshore Estate axis.
The diversion, which begins on June 26 and ends on July 27, 2024, is aimed at enabling the Federal Ministry of Works to carry out the rehabilitation of the asphaltic sections from Osborne Foreshore Estate to Sura Bridge Ramp.
Osiyemi said that to this end, a lane of the road to be rehabilitated will be closed to vehicular movement, Consequently, motorists are advised to use the following alternative routes:
“Scene 1:
Motorists from Alexander/Glover are advised to use Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Avenue inwards Ikoyi to connect Obalende/Ring Road and access Third Mainland Bridge to proceed with their journeys
“Scene 2:
Motorists from Victoria Island are advised to go through Falomo Roundabout to link Awolowo Road and access the Third Mainland Bridge to reach their desired destinations.
“Alternatively, Motorists from Victoria Island can also utilise Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue to link Mekunwen Bridge and proceed to CMS/Apongbon Bridge inward Eko Bridge to access Funsho Williams Avenue to reach their desired destinations.
For this period, motorists on the other side of Sura Bridge will have through traffic inbound Osborne Foreshore Estate.”
Osiyemi assured Lagosians that traffic management personnel will be on the ground to minimise inconveniences and ensure a steady flow of traffic.
He urged motorists to be patient, comply with the officers, and comply with the aforementioned interventions put in place.
Osiyemi, however, implored motorists to be patient, as the partial closure is part of the traffic management plans for the rehabilitation works on the asphalt pavement of the road sections..
