The Lagos State Government says traffic will be diverted at Ikeja Along bus stop, between Ile Zik and Conoil Petrol Station, on the Oshodi bound lane from Saturday to Sunday.

Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, who made this known in a statement in Lagos, said the diversion would be between the hours of 12 midnight and 4.00 a.m. daily.

Osiyemi said the diversion was to enable the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).

He said from Ile Zik bus stop up to Conoil Petrol filling station on the Oshodi bound side of the road, only one lane would be available to motorists, to ensure safety.

According to him, Traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba bound side of the road during the course of the demolition.

In his words; the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be on ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences.

He called for the cooperation of the motoring public during the period.

The Commissioner added that the lanes would be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to keep motorists and commuters safe during the period.
