In continuation of construction of the Opebi/Ojota Link Bridge, the Lagos State Government will divert traffic from the Maryland/Mende underpass starting Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
Traffic commissioner Lagos State, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde assures that alternative routes were worked out during the reconstruction of the underpass to make it easier to get around.
He advised motorists to use the Ojota Interchange to connect Maryland and its environs.
Oladeinde also urged motorists heading into the axis’ inner streets to use Mobolaji Bank Anthony to access Emmanuel, Aderibigbe Shitta and Adeoye Adeyemi streets, while those heading towards Mende and the surrounding area use the Mende Street can use to connect the Ajose Street and Oki Spur to continue their journey.
In a related development, the Traffic Commissioner announced that repairs of a section of the Lagos Bound track on the Iyana Era/Badagry Expressway scheduled for September 17 have been postponed until further notice due to unforeseen circumstances, adding that the new date will be communicated to the public.
Oladeinde commended motorists for their patience and cooperation but reiterated that Lagos State Traffic Management Authority personnel are being deployed to affected routes to minimize inconvenience.
He sought Lagosians’ approval in this season of road construction, as profits from ongoing projects will improve traffic problems in the state.
