According to the Lagos State Sports Commission, the 60 kilometre race will start at Dolphin Loop and cover major routes including Osborne Road, Ring Road, Third Mainland Bridge, Iyana Oworo, Gbagada Expressway, Oshodi Oke, and the MMIA Underbridge (U turn), before returning to Dolphin Estate for the finish line.
In a statement released on Friday, the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, advised motorists from Ikeja heading towards Victoria Island to take Ikorodu Road through Funsho Williams Avenue and connect via Eko Bridge.
“For those coming from Mowe or along the Lagos Ibadan Expressway, motorists should use the Ojota Slip Road to Ikorodu Road, then proceed through Funsho Williams Avenue to Eko Bridge,” Osiyemi explained.
He clarified that the Third Mainland Bridge would remain open to traffic throughout the event, but movement would be strictly regulated to ensure the safety of cyclists and other road users.
“All adjoining roads will be opened intermittently as cyclists progress along the route,” he added.
The Commissioner assured that officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, in collaboration with the Nigeria Police, would be on ground to manage vehicular movement and maintain public order.
He stressed that no road would be completely closed and that vehicular access would be permitted at controlled intervals.
Osiyemi appealed to motorists to plan their trips early, make use of designated alternative routes, and exercise patience during the brief diversions. He emphasised that the measures were put in place to ensure a safe and hitch free event for both participants and residents.
