Lagos Govt Begins Diversion Of Traffic From Ojota Today

The Lagos State government will today begin the diversion of traffic from the Ojota underpass to Demurin junction on the Ikorodu corridor to allow the reconstruction of the Ketu/Mile 12 section of the Lagos/Ikorodu road. The diversion will last for four weeks.

A statement by the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said the diversion was to allow the contractor begin work on the service lane inward Ikorodu from Ojota underpass to Demurin junction. He said access routes to Ketu would be shut during the repair.

The commissioner said alternative routes had been provided, while the personnel of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) would be on ground to direct traffic.

He said motorists from Iyana Oworonshoki axis inward Ketu, Mile 12 and Ikorodu would be diverted to Alapere to exit through Ajelogo street and Mile 12 under bridge, or alternately use the clover leaf ramp to descend into the Maryland-bound lane to access the ramp back to the bridge and take another descent into the Ketu bound main carriageway.

Oladeinde said traffic heading towards Ketu, Mile12 and Ikorodu from Maryland/Ojota axis would be able to access the main carriageway inward Ikorodu, while vehicles heading for the Lagos/Ibadan expressway would equally have the exit ramp open to access their desired destinations.

Motorists can also use the exit ramp and make a U-turn at 7UP for the second exit on Ojota bridge.

Traffic will be diverted from the main carriageway inbound Anthony starting from May 3. The diversion will last for four weeks.

He said the diversion was necessary to address the worsening state of the access road at the Independence Tunnel, Maryland.

The commissioner advised motorists coming from Ibadan-Lagos expressway to go through Oworonshoki to connect Gbagada and descend the ramp at Anthony to access Ikorodu road during the repair.

He said the recently improved Maryland junction would also be opened temporarily during the construction to accommodate traffic coming from the Ojota axis and Ikorodu.
