To facilitate ongoing modernisation of the Lagos-Ibadan railway project, which extends to Apapa, the Lagos State government will be shutting the temporary level crossing at Post Office, Agege, by midnight of November 27, 2019.
Recall that the temporary road was created to ease traffic congestion on the corridor during Ashade level crossing which has now been opened to traffic.
Based on this development, motorists are advised to revert back to Ashade level crossing road to ensure free flow of traffic.
Similarly, the state government is commencing works on the Ilupeju bypass road by midnight of Tuesday, November 26, 2019 and will reopen the road for use on Friday, November 29, 2019.
As a result, alternative routes have been created for road users driving from Oshodi to Ilupeju. They would be expected to go through Oshodi Interchange Terminal 1, or through Oworonshoki Express way to connect Town Planning way.
In the same vein, motorists driving from Mushin to Ilupeju are to make use of Vono/Olohunshogo axis to link Majolate by Ogunmokun Toll gate area/Kayode Street, to link Oyewole and Tinubu road. Also any one moving to Mushin would utilise the same route but use Ogunmokun Street to access Oloosa or Olateju Street through Vono to Agege Motor road.
The government has therefore appealed to the public to cooperate, as he was taking steps to create proper road infrastructure that will ultimately improve the traffic situation of the state.
