CITIZENS COMPASS – Road users plying Ijora-Olopa to Ijora-Oloye in Lagos State may face serious traffic gridlock as Deck-on-Pile Bridge has collapsed in the area.
The Lagos State Government has alerted members of the public on this life-threatening danger.
A statement issued by the Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladeinde on Wednesday said the alert became necessary pending when repairs would be carried out by the Federal Federal Government.
He said the government had released traffic diversion in the area.
To minimise traffic, Oladeinde said motorists from Eko Bridge were advised to utilise Iganmu/Sifax to access Ijora Oloye or Apapa.
He added that motorists from Iddo heading to Ijora-Oloye/Apapa would be diverted at the intersection underpass on a contra flow to reconnect at the U-Turn inwards Ijora-Oloye or Apapa.
“The Ministry appealed to motorists who make use of the corridor to cooperate with the State’s Traffic Management Authority, (LASTMA) and the interventions put in place to manage the traffic,” he stated.
