Lagos govt diverts traffic for culvert construction in Ifako-Ijaiye
The Lagos State government has announced a traffic diversion along Baale Animashaun Road, Ifako-Ijaiye, for culvert construction under an ongoing drainage reconstruction project.
The Lagos State commissioner for transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said this in a statement on Friday.
“The project aims to channel stormwater runoff from Adfarm Estate, Adson Street, and surrounding areas to reduce flooding and improve drainage infrastructure within the community.
“Construction is scheduled to commence on June 15, and is expected to last for eight weeks, during which traffic movement will be affected,” he said.
He said that motorists from the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway heading to Baale Animashaun Road are advised to use the Ijaiye Bus Stop Junction through Agbado-Ijaiye Road and connect via Alakuko Road.
He disclosed alternative routes to also include Jendor Junction through Alhaji Ganiyu Road and Ajegunle-Ilo Bus Stop via Adetiba Street, linking Fagbeyiro Abayomi and Fola Azeez streets.
Mr Osiyemi stated that there would be no vehicular access into Baale Animashaun Road from the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway throughout the construction period.
He urged motorists to obey traffic signs and follow directives from traffic officials to ensure smooth movement and minimise disruptions.
