The Lagos State Government has unveiled a traffic diversion strategy covering Adeniji through Falomo, Bourdillon, and Queens Drive on Lagos Island.
As outlined in a statement from the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, released on Friday, the diversion is intended to facilitate the repair of worn-out asphalt sections of these roads.
Repair activities are set to commence on Monday, May 13, 2024, with an anticipated duration until November 7, 2024.
“To mitigate the traffic implications, the repair works will be conducted in phases. Phase 1 will focus on the stretch from Glover Road Junction on Alfred Rewane Road to Falomo Roundabout, starting from Monday, 13th May, 2024. During this phase, the portion of the road from Glover Junction to Falomo Roundabout will be closed to traffic.
“For the period of the 1st Phase repair works, motorists on Alfred Rewane Road heading towards Falomo Roundabout will turn left at Glover Road Junction onto Thompson Avenue to access Falomo Bridge through Bourdillon Road and continue their journeys.
“The other side of the road will be open to traffic (i.e Falomo Roundabout heading towards Mainland),” Osiyemi said.
The commissioner emphasized the importance of motorists exercising patience, highlighting that the partial closure is a crucial component of the traffic management strategy for rehabilitating the asphalt pavement on the affected road sections by the Federal Ministry of Works.
