Lagos State Government will divert traffic at Akowonjo/Egbeda Road, Jimoh and Akinremi streets from 11pm on Friday till Sunday midnight, to de-flood the drainage on the axis of accumulated storm water.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, in a statement, said that Akowonjo Road would be cordoned-off by Jimoh/Akinremi junction for drainage works, adding that the process would eliminate flooding of Akowonjo Road.
Highlighting the diversion plan, Oladeinde said alternative routes had been mapped out for motorists to utilise during the maintenance works.
He advised motorists outbound Egbeda to go through Vulcanizer bus stop and make a right turn into Church Street, to access Shasha Traffic Signal Light area, to reach their destination.
The commissioner said motorists outbound Akowonjo could make a right turn after Sobo bus stop (by Tastee Fried Chicken/Mega Vision Plaza) into Lambe Kudaisi Street, to link Alh. Olumide inwards Oni Street and access Fajumobi Street, to connect Odebunmi/Miccom axis, to proceed with their journey.
He said officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) would be on ground to manage movement during the maintenance works and appealed to motorists to cooperate with LASTMA operatives to minimise inconveniences.
The government appealed to the public to obey traffic laws.
