Partial closure of the service lane inbound Maryland from the end of Gani Fawehinmi Park to the end of the second pedestrian bridge, Ojota for six weeks has been announced by the Lagos State Government.
This is in continuation of the ongoing rehabilitation of the Ikorodu road starting from Tuesday, November 17, 2020.
The State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, in a statement on Monday, stated that the partial closure is to allow the contractor handling the stretch of the project from Ojota to Maryland to continue with the next phase of the construction.
He explained that because of the new arrangement, motorists coming from Ikeja axis are advised to use 7UP road through Billingsway to link Oregun/Kudirat Abiola Way inbound Ikorodu road by Ojota bus stop.
Traffic inward Ojota Bus stop/Maryland from the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway could either proceed to Oworonshoki/Gbagada or descend the loop by Abiola Garden to connect Ikorodu road (inbound Ketu).
He added that they could ascend the loop back to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway through the loop beside LAMATA Office to access Ikorodu road to Ojota.
The commissioner assured that adequate road signs have been provided to guide motorists.
