In furtherance of the rehabilitation works on the Ojota Interchange to Ojota 2nd Pedestrian Bridge portion of Ikorodu Road, the Lagos State Government has announced a two weeks traffic diversion on the Ikorodu bound Service Lane from Monday, 23rd January, 2023.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, in a statement issued on Friday, said the diversion was to correct some asphalt failings observed at the edge of the ramps inwards Iyana-Oworo/Gbagada axis and Seven up on the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
He added that alternative routes have been provided for motorists to use during the stipulated time set for the repairs.
According to the statement, vehicles coming from Maryland on the service lane will be diverted at the 2nd Pedestrian Bridge into the main carriageway to make a turn at Mile 12 Underpass, and continue their journey on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway or link Demurin Road along Ketu axis of the Expressway.
