The Lagos State Government has announced the diversion of traffic from Alfred Rewane and Osborne roads in the Ikoyi area of the state for four weeks.

The government will divert the traffic through the Osborne Foreshore Estate axis from June 26 to July 27, 2024.

Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation Oluwaseun Osiyemi disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, June 25.

Osiyemi said the diversion would enable the Federal Ministry of Works to carry out the first phase of rehabilitation of the asphaltic sections from Osborne Foreshore Estate to Sura Bridge Ramp.

The commissioner noted: “Motorists from Alexander/Glover are advised to use Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Avenue inwards Ikoyi to connect Obalende/Ring Road and access Third Mainland Bridge to proceed with their journeys.

“Alternately, motorists from Victoria Island can utilise Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue to link Mekunwen Bridge and proceed to CMS/Apongbon Bridge inwards Eko Bridge to access Funsho Williams Avenue to reach their desired destinations.”

Osiyemi assured that traffic managers would be on ground to minimise inconvenience and ensure a steady flow of traffic.

He, therefore, enjoined motorists to be patient and comply with the instructions.
