LAGOS State Government on Sunday, January 16th, 2022 announced it will divert traffic on Dopemu Road in the Agege area of the state for three months.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said in a statement that this is to allow for the rehabilitation and upgrade of some roads within the period.
He further said the repair works will be executed in three phases, the first phase of the project will focus on Ipaja Road to Adealu Street junction which will last for three months.
“In line with the on-going infrastructure development, the Lagos State Government will divert traffic on Dopemu Road in the Agege area of the state by 10:00 pm on Friday 21st January 2022 for the rehabilitation and upgrade of Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road for a duration of three months,” the statement reads.
Mr. Oladeinde advises motorists inbound Dopemu Bridge from Iyana Ipaja/Alagba axis to go through the Ipaja road to connect Oyewole Street into Seriki Street which will link them to Kolawole and Adebambo Street to access Adealu road for their desired destination.
Also, motorists heading towards Dopemu Bridge from Ipaja (Oke Koto) can use Markaz road to connect Awori street and link Sarumi Alawo street/Oniwaya and Surulere to continue their journey or alternately go through Alfa Nla from Old Ipaja road to connect Oniwaya/Surulere axis to reach Dopemu Bridge.
The Commissioner for Transportation also guarantees that alternative routes have been mapped by the state’s Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to enable effective control of traffic along the axis during the three months of construction.
