The Lagos State Government on Thursday announced that it will shut down PWD Level Crossing on Saturday from 6pm, to 6am on Sunday, for the laying of the standard gauge train track on Ikeja axis.
A statement from the Ministry of Transportation, said alternative routes have been provided for road users to utilise during the 12-hour construction.
Motorists plying PWD Level Crossing, according to the statement, will be diverted to Ashade Underpass, by Idi Mongoro, to join Ikeja Along, or climb Airport Bridge by Ikeja General Hospital, to link Oshodi Motorway, to ensure reaching their destinations with ease.
