The Lagos State Government has announced partial road closures across key parts of the state for the commissioning of critical infrastructure projects scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the temporary closures were necessary to ensure safety and the smooth conduct of the events.
The government advised motorists to plan their movements and avoid affected corridors during the specified periods to minimise traffic disruptions and delays.
According to the statement, the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge will be commissioned on Wednesday, April 8, between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., affecting traffic in the Opebi-Allen, Ikeja and Ojota areas.
“All motorists transiting this corridor during the specified hours should seek alternative routes to avoid congestion and ensure timely arrival at their destinations,” the statement said.
On Thursday, April 9, two commissioning events are scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The first is the commissioning of the Tolu Schools Complex, which will affect traffic in the Olodi Apapa and Ajegunle areas.
Motorists operating in these areas were advised to plan alternative routes and allow additional travel time.
Later in the day, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., another event will be held at Eko Hotel and within Victoria Island, with motorists advised to avoid the corridor or expect delays.
The statement added that officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority and other traffic enforcement personnel would be deployed to manage traffic and assist road users.
Osiyemi urged the public to cooperate with traffic officials and comply with all directives to ensure smooth vehicular movement during the events.
