The Lagos government has announced the diversion of traffic
along Funsho Williams Avenue to allow for the installation of truck barriers.
The state government said traffic will be diverted along the
route for three nights between 10pm to 6am, effective from today.
In a statement released on Thursday, the government asked
motorists to use alternative routes during the installation.
“Motorists from Eko Bridge/Costain/Iponri inbound
Ojuelegba/Alhaji Masha Road will be diverted to the service lane from Alaka via
National Stadium gate to link Barracks or Alhaji Masha Road to continue their
journeys,” the statement reads.
“Motorists from Eko
Bridge via Costain and those from Apapa Road going through Iponri will make use
of Iponri Estate road to link Bode Thomas via Adeniran Ogunsanya to Shitta
Roundabout for their desired destinations.”
The government added that the installation is in line with
the prohibition of trucks and articulated vehicles on some bridges within the
state.
Recently, Lagos has witnessed a spate of accidents involving
heavy-duty vehicles at bridges.
In January, nine bus passengers were killed when a
container-laden truck fell off the Ojuelegba bridge.
