Komolafe said the move was in line with instructions from the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, directing the contractor, Messrs Arab Contractors, to step up work on key portions of the road for faster completion.
He explained that the affected corridor includes the Ikorodu Roundabout to Sabo Junction axis in Lagos, as well as the Cement to Coca-Cola stretch heading toward Sagamu.
During the closure period, vehicles moving between Ikorodu and Sagamu will be rerouted through alternative construction lanes under a controlled counterflow system to ease traffic congestion.
Komolafe noted that the rehabilitation exercise is expected to last about three months, during which critical pavement works and curing processes will be carried out.
He added that officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be stationed along the route to manage traffic and reduce delays for motorists.
Motorists were urged to remain patient and comply with traffic directives from officials and security agencies deployed to the area.
The controller apologised for the inconvenience the partial closure may cause, stressing that the project is aimed at improving the durability and safety of the road in the long term.
