“Motorists heading to Badagry from Apapa will continue their journey on Apapa – Oshodi Expressway and take a turn into Akinwande Road to link Coker and access Lagos – Badagry Express Way to continue their journeys.

“Motorists heading to Lagos from Badagry will also have a through traffic and vice versa. Motorists heading to Apapa will be diverted into Durban Road to link Amuwo Odofin Estate and connect Apapa-Oshodi Express Way to continue their journeys”, he said.

He assured that the diversion routes had been well marked with signs to assist motorists in navigating their destinations.

Osiyemi added that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority officers would be on ground along the affected routes to oversee traffic flow.

He advised motorists to cooperate with the interventions put in place to minimise inconveniences.

“Motorists are implored to be patient as the closure is part of the traffic management plans for the construction of the Transport Interchange Terminal project by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority”, he said.
