Eko Hot Blog reports that a statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde explained that the extension was needed to enable the contractor to commence the construction of the ramp phase.
Explaining the diversion plan, Oladeinde stated that traffic on Muritala Mohammed way will be diverted to Ojuelegba-Tejuosho slip road to link Muritala Mohammed Way, while traffic circulating around Western Avenue, Yaba and Herbert Macaulay will be diverted to Empire road to access Muritala Mohammed and Western Avenue for the continuation of the journey as contained in previous traffic diversion notices.
The Commissioner assured that the construction site will be cordoned off for the safety of the citizenry, adding that emergency vehicles will be on the ground to tow faulty vehicles along the axis.
He also stated that signage will be placed on the access roads with the presence of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officers to manage traffic flow and minimise inconveniences for motorists and road users.
The State Government reiterated its continuous commitment to the development of transport infrastructure within the metropolis, maintaining that it is vital for the Multi-Modal Transportation System of the State Government which will in turn boost the economic prowess of the citizenry.
