Osiyemi said the diversion which would commence from August 26, 2024, to January 31, 2025, would be in sections to minimise inconveniences for motorists.

The commissioner added that the first section of the reconstruction covering the stretch of Durbar Junction, Badagry Bound (on both toll lanes and service lanes), would start from August 26 to September 30, 2024.

He advised motorists to use alternative routes while the first section was ongoing.

Osiyemi stated: “Traffic going to Badagry from Lagos, (repair on the toll lane): traffic inward Badagry from Lagos on the toll lane will be diverted to the service lane at 100 meters (subject to site condition) away from the proposed repair location.

“And to exit the service lane back to the toll lane 100 metres (subject to site condition) away from the Durbar Junction to continue their journeys.
