LASG announces 10-day traffic diversion for Oniru Road construction
The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion at the Akiogun/Market Road Junction towards Admiralty Circle from Monday, July 15th to Thursday, July 25th, 2024, due to construction on Oniru Road.
The Lagos State Ministry of Transportation shared this update on Friday via their official X (formerly Twitter) account.
They stated that the diversion is necessary for rehabilitation works on the asphalt pavement by the State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure.
“In light of the ongoing construction of Oniru Road to Admiralty Circle, the Lagos State Government has announced that traffic will be diverted at Akiogun/Market Road Junction inward Admiralty Circle from Monday, 15th July to Thursday, 25th July, 2024,” the statement read in part.
The statement also noted that the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, assured the public that State Traffic Management Personnel will be on site to manage traffic flow and minimize inconvenience.
He mentioned that the diversion plan is weather-dependent, and prolonged rainfall could extend the duration of the traffic diversion.
In light of the traffic diversion for asphalt pavement rehabilitation on Oniru Road, the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation recommends that motorists use the following alternative routes:
The Lagos State Government had earlier announced an upcoming complete closure of the stretch from Osborne Foreshore Estate Phase 1 to the Adeniji ramp from midnight on Saturday, July 13, to 5 am on Monday, July 15, 2024, to allow the Federal Ministry of Works to lay asphalt on the section.
During this period, motorists are advised to use alternative routes. Motorists from Alexander/Glover are directed to use Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Avenue towards Ikoyi to connect with Obalende/Ring Road and access the 3rd Mainland Bridge.
Those from Victoria Island are advised to proceed via Falomo Roundabout to link Awolowo Road for access to the Third Mainland Bridge or take Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue to Mekunwen Bridge, then proceed to CMS/Apongbon Bridge towards Eko Bridge and Funsho Williams Avenue.
