He noted that this diversion is necessary to facilitate the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge.

 

“Consequently, from Ile Zik Bus Stop up to Conoil Petrol Filling Station on the Oshodi bound side of the road, only one lane will be available to Motorists to ensure safety,” he said.

The commissioner also noted that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be present to oversee vehicle flow and reduce disruptions.

 

He urged the motoring public to cooperate, stating that the lanes would be secured with jersey barriers and protective nets to ensure the safety of both motorists and commuters throughout the demolition period.
