The Lagos State Government has announced traffic diversion plan for the reconstruction of Lagos-Badagry Carriageway.

The state Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said this in a statement on Friday in Lagos.

Osiyemi said the diversion which would commence from August 26, 2024 to Jan 31, 2025, would be in sections to minimise inconveniences for motorists.

He added that the first section of the reconstruction covering the stretch of Durbar Junction, Badagry Bound (on both toll lanes and service lanes), would start Aug. 26 to Sept. 30, 2024.

He advised motorists to use the following alternative routes while the first section was ongoing.

“Traffic going to Badagry from Lagos, (repair on the toll lane): traffic inward Badagry from Lagos on the toll lane will be diverted to the service lane at 100 meters (subject to site condition) away from the proposed repair location.
