LASG Announces Two-day Diversion On Lagos Road

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to divert traffic at the Ikeja Along Bus Stop, between Ile Zik and Conoil Filling Station on the Oshodi-bound lane of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.

According to the announcement, the diversion would be for two days, from Saturday, 17th of August, 2024, to Sunday, 18th of August, 2024, between 12 midnight and 4 am daily.

The diversion was meant to allow workers to safely demolish the old pedestrian bridge in the area.

This was made known on Thursday via the X handle of the state Ministry of Transportation.

The statement also stated that only one lane would be available to motorists “from Ile Zik Bus Stop up to Conoil Filling Station on the Oshodi bound side of the road.

“The state Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, explained that the traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba bound side of the road during the demolition, adding that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be on the ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences.”

Osiyemi advised motorists to be patient “as the closure is part of the traffic management plans for the removal of the old pedestrian bridge safely by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority,” 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.”
