Hold onto your steering wheels, Lagos! The city that never sleeps is about to experience a different kind of nightlife. The Lagos State Government just dropped the news about a traffic diversion that’s going to light up the National Stadium Bridge along Funsho Williams Avenue. Buckle up and mark your calendars for September 1 and 2, 2023, because between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am each night, things are going to get interesting.
This oh-so-important update comes straight from the desk of Abdulhafiz Toriola, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation. His signature seals the deal on a temporary change in your route game. And guess what? The state’s official website is the place to check out all the deets.
So, why the detour, you ask? Well, it’s all about fixing up that spanking new truck barrier that took a bit of a hit recently. The government’s game plan? Repair and conquer! And you’re a part of this mission.
Picture this: the roads are quiet, the moon is up, and it’s your time to shine on the alternate routes. If you’re coming in from Eko Bridge, Costain, or Iponri, heading towards Ojuelegba or Alhaji Masha Road, we’ve got a little twist for you. Say hello to the service lane from Alaka through the National Stadium gate, leading you to Barracks or Alhaji Masha Road. Your journey continues, no sweat!
And for our friends cruising in from Eko Bridge via Costain or Apapa Road through Iponri, here’s your route remix. Follow Iponri Estate road to link up with Bode Thomas via Adeniran Ogunsanya, all the way to Shitta Roundabout. It’s your personal expressway to your destination.
Now, we know patience isn’t just a virtue; it’s a superhero power. The government’s got your back, making sure the bridge closure is set for the night owls among us. Safety first, after all.
Remember, this isn’t the first time Lagos is flipping the traffic script. A few weeks back, the city orchestrated a traffic tango along Funsho Williams Avenue to usher in those new truck barriers.
So, there you have it, Lagosians! Get ready to navigate the night with style. Your trusty roads might be taking a breather, but you’re in for an adventurous detour. It’s a temporary twist for a brighter, safer future on Lagos roads.
