The Lagos State Government has announced a night traffic diversion for the installation of a truck barrier at the Ojuelegba flyover bridge by the fire station.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.

Osiyemi said the diversion would be between 10:00 pm on Saturday and 5:00 am on Sunday, October 6.

“Motorists are advised to use the diversion route below during the nighttime installation of the barriers.

“Motorists from Eko Bridge, Costain and Iponri inbound Ojuelegba are advised to use the service lane from National Stadium gate to link Barracks to access their desired destinations,” he said.

Osiyemi implored motorists to be patient as the brief closure of the bridge was planned for nighttime as part of a traffic management strategy to avert further accidents and loss of lives.
