Lagos govt diverts traffic for pedestrian bridge demolition in Ikeja
The Lagos government says traffic will be diverted at the Ikeja Along bus stop, between Ile Zik and Conoil Petrol Station, on the Oshodi-bound lane this weekend.
The transportation commissioner, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced this in a statement.
Mr Osiyemi said the diversion would be between 12 midnight and 4:00 a.m. daily.
He said the diversion would enable the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA). He said from the Ile Zik bus stop up to the Conoil Petrol filling station on the Oshodi-bound side of the road, only one lane would be available to motorists to ensure safety.
“Traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba-bound side of the road during the course of the demolition. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be on ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences,” the commissioner said.
He called for the cooperation of the motoring public during the period.
Mr Osiyemi added that the lanes would be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to keep motorists and commuters safe during the period.
