According to a statement from the State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the repairs will be conducted in two phases over a period of 90 days.
The first phase will focus on the Ojota-bound lane, while the second phase will address the Yaba/Ojuelegba/Maryland-bound lane.
According to him, alternative routes have been mapped out for each phase of the repairs.
For the first phase of the repairs, motorists heading to Ojota from Maryland/Yaba will be diverted into a counter flow on the lane inbound Maryland, while motorists heading to Yaba from Ojota will continue their journeys on the same lane.
Alternately, motorists from Berger, Magodo and Tollgate along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, are advised to go through Alapere/Ogudu axis inward Gbagada/Anthony Oke Bridge, to descend the ramp and access Ikorodu Road to continue their journeys.
The commissioner said motorists coming from Ikeja, Oregun and Kudirat Abiola Way, are advised to use the Opebi Link Bridge to connect Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way inwards Sheraton through Maryland, to access Ikorodu Road and navigate their ways.
Motorists coming from Jibowu are advised to make use of the Ikorodu Road Service lane by Mobil Fuel Station/Bertola Engineering Equipment Company, to access Gbagada/Ogudu axis to continue their journeys.
Osiyemi also said those who miss the turning by the Mobil Fuel Station and Bertola Engineering Equipment Company, can also use Theodolite to link Anthony Oke Ramp and join Ikorodu Road again, to access Town Planning Way inwards Gbagada/Ogudu/ Alapere axis to proceed with their journeys.
Motorists from Jibowu heading to Ikeja, Magodo, Berger and Lagos Ibadan Expressway can use Maryland inwards Mobolaji Bank Anthony, to link Sheraton/Opebi to Allen Avenue/Obafemi Awolowo Way, and access Nurudeen Olowopopo Road to continue their journeys.
Alternatively, after going through the Opebi Link Bridge, they can also make use of Kudirat Abiola Way to access Ikosi Road inwards Mobolaji Johnson Avenue/7up, to connect Nurudeen Olowopopo Road and access their desired destinations.
For the second phase of the project, motorists inward Maryland/Yaba from Ojota will be diverted into a counter flow on the lane inbound Ojota, while motorists from Maryland will continue their journey on the same lane. They can also use the following alternative routes.
Motorists traveling from Berger, Magodo, and Toll Gate can use the Alapere route towards Gbagada to access the Anthony Oke Ramp, then connect to Ikorodu Road to reach their destinations.
Likewise, those coming from Ikorodu/Ketu can use the Ojota Ramp Bridge to link up with Alapere and continue their journeys as outlined.
For those coming from Ikeja, Oregun, and Kudirat Abiola Way, it’s advised to use the Opebi Link Bridge towards Mobolaji Bank Anthony/Sheraton, then exit at Maryland to enter Ikorodu Road.
The alternative routes for motorists heading to Ikeja, Magodo, Berger, and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway from Jibowu during the first phase will also be applicable during the second phase of repairs.
The Commissioner assured that ample traffic management personnel will be deployed to handle the traffic situation, minimize disruptions, and ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
He also appealed to residents and motorists to cooperate with the measures in place during the repair period.
