LASG TO CLOSE OUTBOUND LANE OF OBA AKRAN INBOUND SIMBIAT ABIOLA WAY FOR A MAJOR DEMOLITION

As a follow up to the Junction Improvement Works ongoing at Awolowo way/Kodesho/Oba Akran Road, through the Underpass (by Computer Village) in Ikeja area of the state, the Lagos State Government will bar the outbound lane of Oba Akran inbound Simbiat Abiola Way from vehicular movement by 6:00am on Saturday 18th till 6:00am, Sunday 19th September, 2021. 

In a statement released by the Ministry of Transportation, the Commissioner,     Dr. Frederic Oladeinde explained that the bar will allow the contractor carry out a major demolition on that section of the road, for which safety of lives and property is paramount.

The Transport Commissioner advised Motorists outbound Oba Akran and Awolowo Way to link Abeokuta Street and connect Oshifila to connect Akinremi and access Simbiat Abiola Way to reach their desired destinations. He added that the Ikeja Flyover Bridge will also be open to motorists to utilize alternately during the duration of the demolition.

He explained that the closure was slated during the weekend to minimize inconveniences that the demolition exercise may bring to road users.

Oladeinde encourage the Motorists to cooperate with the State Government by adhering to all the directions of the State Traffic Management Authority, (LASTMA) and the traffic advisory provided.
