The Lagos State Government is diverting traffic along the Ilepo bus stop in Alimosho local government area of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway for the construction of culverts in order to address the perennial flooding challenge at that axis.
Engr. Abdulhafiz Toriola,the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation,who disclosed this in a statement,said that the traffic diversion would be from the Kataguwa/Ilepo axis of Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, starting from Friday, August 4, 2023.
He hinted that it has provided alternative routes for motorists during the construction period.
Toriola mentioned some of the alternative routes to include Iyana Ipaja towards Abule-Egba where he said traffic would be diverted to the BRT Lane.
According to him,traffic from Iyana Ipaja towards Abule Egba and traffic from Abule-Egba inward Iyana Ipaja would be diverted to service lanes, while traffic from Abule-Egba towards Iyana Ipaja would be diverted to the BRT lane from Abule-Egba.
He advised motorists to be patient as the lane closure was part of the traffic management plan for the construction of drains across the axis.
