The Lagos State Government has announced that traffic will be diverted at Ikeja Along Bus Stop, between Ile Zik and Conoil Petrol Station on the Oshodi-bound lane.

According to a statement on Friday, the traffic diversion will take place from Saturday, August 17 to Sunday, August 18, 2024, between the hours of 12 midnight and 4:00 am daily.

This is to enable the Lagos State Government to safely carry out the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge.

“Consequently, from Ile Zik Bus Stop up to Conoil Petrol Filling Station on the Oshodi-bound side of the road, only one lane will be available to motorists to ensure safety,” the statement read.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, explained that the traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba-bound side of the road during the demolition.

Osiyemi added that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be on the ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences.

He also called for the cooperation of the motoring public, adding that the lanes will be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to keep motorists and commuters safe during the demolition period.

Issuing an advisory, Osiyemi implored motorists to be patient, as the closure is part of the traffic management plans for the safe removal of the old pedestrian bridge by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
