LAGOS STATE Government has announced plans to divert traffic on the National Theatre and Marina axis for the next seven months due to works on the Blue Line rail project.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, who made the announcement in a statement, said that the road diversion would start from Monday Aug. 9, 2021 for a duration of 221 days.
Oladeinde said the diversion was part of the current administration’s mandate to ensure safety of motorists and construction personnel during the course of the construction of Blue Line rail project slated within seven months and a week.
He said that the Traffic Management Plan (T.M.P) would address the impact of the construction work on traffic and subsequently eliminate traffic related issues.
Oladeinde explained that the construction would commence on the Right hand side of the road for a duration of 116 days while the left hand side will take 182 days.
He further stated that some of the works would be done simultaneously as some aspect of the construction would require such attention.
