The Lagos State Government has said traffic would be diverted at Ijora from Sunday till Monday, November 7, 2022 following the ongoing works on the Ijora Eastlink/Causeway project.
A statement by Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, Commissioner for Transportation, Lagos State said the traffic diversion was due to the notification received from the Federal Ministry of Works on the project.
It hinted that the traffic diversion would start at 4pm on the said day, while the road would be open for traffic at 5pm the next day.
He stated that the notification from the ministry stated that motorists would be diverted into National Theatre to access Ijora and Costain to ensure seamless rehabilitation of the flexible pavement, which links Eko Bridge without vehicular interference.
He, however, assured the motoring public of efficient traffic management by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, (LASTMA) along the affected routes.
He implored the citizenry to cooperate with the government to minimize inconveniences, adding that the ongoing projects across the state were geared towards creating and maintaining an efficient transportation system.
