Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: FRSC issues traffic alert for travellers
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a traffic advisory for travellers using the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to explore alternative routes due to a crash along the road.
FRSC spokesman Bisi Kazeem disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
“This is, however, not only for the outward Lagos section where the RTC occurred alone but also the inward Lagos section as well. All road users going into and out of Lagos are therefore advised to explore alternative routes,” said the statement.
It added, “Such routes include Ikorodu through Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode, and Epe for Lagos-bound vehicles,” advising some to ply Abeokuta through Sagamu Interchange “as well for their own good.”
The statement said the crash involving a tanker occurred in the early hours of Sunday under the Ibafo pedestrian bridge on the outward Lagos section of the expressway.
It said FRSC officers and security agents had been on top of the situation since the crash.
The FRSC added that the content of the tanker had been trans-loaded into another one while Ogun firefighters were on the ground to forestall any fire outbreaks.
“Unfortunately, some inpatient drivers who choose to drive against the flow of traffic from all available exit points have done so, thereby causing traffic jams,” the FRSC statement explained.
