The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion from Adeniji through Falomo, including Bourdillon and Queens Drive, to accommodate road repairs starting Monday, May 13, 2024, until November 7, 2024.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, made this known via a statement posted on the official website of the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation.
The statement indicated that the Federal Ministry of Works, through the Office of the Federal Controller in Lagos, would handle the repair work, which is to be executed in phases to mitigate severe traffic implications.
Phase 1 of the project, starting Monday, May 13, 2024, will focus on the stretch from Glover Road Junction on Alfred Rewane Road to Falomo Roundabout. During this phase, the road from Glover Junction to Falomo Roundabout will be closed to traffic.
Additionally, during Phase 1, motorists on Alfred Rewane Road heading towards Falomo Roundabout will need to turn left at Glover Road Junction onto Thompson Avenue, using Bourdillon Road to access Falomo Bridge and continue their journeys. Meanwhile, the opposite side of the road, heading from Falomo Roundabout towards the Mainland, will remain open to traffic.
The Lagos State Government has requested that motorists be patient during the partial closure, which is integral to the traffic management strategy for the rehabilitation of the asphalt pavement on these road sections.
