FLASH: In line with the on-going infrastructure development, the Lagos State Government will divert traffic on Dopemu Road in Agege area of the state by 10:00pm on Friday 21st January, 2022 for the rehabilitation and upgrade of Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road for a duration of 3 months.

The Commissioner for Transportation, @dr_oladeinde explained that the repair works will be executed in 3 phases adding that the first phase of the project will focus on Ipaja road to Adealu street junction which will last for 3 months.

Oladeinde assured that alternative routes have been mapped by the State's Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA to enable effective control of vehicular movement along the axis during the duration of the construction.

The Transport Commissioner advised motorists inbound Dopemu Bridge from Iyana Ipaja/Alagba axis to go through Ipaja road to connect Oyewole street into Seriki street which will link them to Kolawole and Adebambo street to access Adealu road for their desired destination.

In the same vein, Motorists heading towards Dopemu Bridge from Ipaja (Oke Koto) are to utilize Markaz road to connect Awori street and link Sarumi Alawo street/Oniwaya …

… and Surulere to continue their journey or alternately go through Alfa Nla from Old Ipaja road to connect Oniwaya/Surulere axis to reach Dopemu Bridge.

Oladeinde reaffirmed that alternative routes were in motorable condition and will not pose any difficulty to Motorists that ply the routes, assuring also that LASTMA personnel will be at the diversion routes for efficient traffic management.

While lauding lagosians for their perseverance through the myriad of constructions ongoing across the state, the transport Commissioner called for support from the citizenry, …

… assuring them that the sacrifice being paid will yield the desired outcome for the State's Multi-modal Transportation System.
