The Lagos State Government has implemented a diversion plan ahead of technical checks, duct calibration, and land route repairs at designated locations on the Island. The land route repairs are scheduled to commence on Friday, 17th January 2025, and end on Friday, 31st January 2025.
The locations to be covered simultaneously during the partial closure are as follows: Bonny Camp Underbridge to Eko Atlantic Sales Office, Eko Hotel Roundabout, Officer’s Mess Inward Independence Bridge, Ajose Adeogun to Ligali Ayorinde, and Ligali Ayorinde to the end of Landmark.
Consequently, alternative routes have been outlined for motorists at each location during the course of the repairs.
The location includes: “Bonny Camp Underbridge to Eko Atlantic Sales Office (Friday, 17th – Friday, 31st January 2025). The repair work will be carried out along the road median, with no impact on traffic.
“Eko Hotel Roundabout (Sunday, 19th January 2025). Motorists from Eko Hotel moving towards Adetokunbo Ademola will be diverted into two lanes around the roundabout, which should be maintained for safe and efficient work operations.
“Officer’s Mess Inward Independence Bridge (Sunday, 19th January 2025). Motorists heading to Independence Bridge from Officer’s Mess will be diverted to the two extreme lanes farther from the kerb.
“Ajose Adeogun to Ligali Ayorinde (Monday, 20th – Friday, 24th January 2025). Motorists will be diverted into two lanes as they approach Ligali Ayorinde Junction, inward Oniru Beach, due to repair work on the manhole at the junction.
State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, assured Lagos residents and commuters that traffic management officers will be stationed along the routes to minimise any inconveniences and manage vehicular movements.
However, motorists are implored to be patient as the diversion schedule is part of the traffic management plans for the repair and technical check activities on the underground Submarine Cables.
