Lagos Diverts Traffic For Ikeja Pedestrian Bridge Demolition
The Lagos State Government has announced that traffic will be diverted at Ikeja Along Bus Stop, between Ile Zik and Conoil Petrol Station on the Oshodi bound lane, from Saturday 17th to Sunday 18th August 2024, between 12 midnight and 4 am daily.
Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, stated on Thursday, that the traffic diversion is required for the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge.
“Consequently, from Ile Zik Bus Stop up to Conoil Petrol Filling Station on the Oshodi bound side of the road, only one lane will be available to Motorists to ensure safety,” he said.
Osiyemi further clarified that the traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba bound side of the road during the demolition.
The commissioner also noted that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, (LASTMA) will be on the ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences.
He urged the motoring public to cooperate, adding that the lanes will be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to keep motorists and commuters safe during the period of the demolition.
