The Lagos state government has said it will divert traffic on Dopemu road in Agege from January 21, 2022 for the rehabilitation and upgrade of Babajide Sanwo-Olu road for duration of three months.
The state’s commissioner for transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, who disclosed this, explained that this would pave way for repair works on the road, which will be executed in three phases, adding that the first phase of the project will focus on Ipaja road to Adealu street junction, which will last for three months.
Oladeinde said alternative routes have been mapped by the State’s Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to enhance effective control of vehicular movement along the axis during the duration of the construction.
