The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion to facilitate the installation of truck barriers at the Ojuelegba Flyover Bridge by the Fire Station.
The diversion will run from 10:00 pm on Saturday, October 26, to 5:00 am on Sunday, October 27, 2024, following recent damage to the barriers.
This planned diversion follows an earlier temporary closure of the bridge for barrier installation between Saturday, October 5, and Sunday, October 6, 2024.
The announcement was contained in a statement by Oluwaseun Osiyemi, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, on Thursday.
“The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion at Ojuelegba Flyover Bridge by the Fire Station from 10:00 pm on Saturday, October 26th, to 5:00 am on Sunday, October 27th, 2024, for the installation of truck barriers which were recently damaged,” the statement read in part.
The diversion is part of the government’s traffic management strategy to enhance road safety, control the movement of heavy-duty vehicles, and prevent further accidents or loss of lives.
The Commissioner also warned motorists against damaging public infrastructure, cautioning that offenders would face the full wrath of the law.
