The Lagos State Government has said traffic will be diverted on Oduduwa Way in the Ikeja Local Government Area as it commences the construction of culverts from 31st of August 2021.

According to a statement on Monday, the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, said the duration of the diversion would be six days.

He said, “Traffic will be diverted on Oduduwa Way and Crescent for the construction of culverts that will channel storm water towards the outfall across Agege Motor Road by Sogunle Bus Stop.

“Alternative routes have been suggested to ease movement during the construction period which will start on August 31, 2021 and last for six days.

“Road users from Ladipo end of Adekunle Fajuyi way, intending to link Mobolaji Bank Anthony/Maryland, can connect Sowemimo Street through Oladipo Bateye Street and link Oba Akinjobi Way roundabout to reach Oba Dosumu Road. They can also access Isaac John Street and turn right to Sobo Arobiodu or left to Mobolaji Bank Anthony/Maryland to access their destinations.

“I appeal to motorists to comply with the directives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority to minimise the inconveniences that may arise. The ongoing rehabilitation of roads infrastructure will improve the movement of vehicle owners and road users, thereby easing traffic congestion within the metropolis,” he added.
