LASG ANNOUNCES TRAFFIC DIVERSION FOR REPAIR OF TRUCK BARRIER AT OJUELEGBA FLYOVER BRIDGE

In line with the plan to repair the truck barrier at Ojuelegba Flyover Bridge which was recently damaged again, the Lagos State Government has announced traffic diversion on the night of Monday, 2nd October, 2023 from 10.00 pm to 6.00 am.

Consequently, the following alternative routes will be available to Motorists during the diversion:

i. Motorists from Eko Bridge/Constain/Iponri inbound Ojuelegba/Alhaji Masha Road will be diverted to the service lane from Alaka via the National Stadium gate to link Barracks or Alhaji Masha Road to continue their journeys.

ii. Motorists from Eko Bridge via Costain and those from Apapa Road going through Iponri will make use of Iponri Estate road to link Bode Thomas via Adeniran Ogunsanya to Shitta Roundabout for their desired destinations.

Motorists are implored to be patient as the brief closure of the bridge is planned for nighttime as part of a traffic management strategy to avert further accidents and loss of lives.

Large trucks often fall of flyovers in Lagos, especially the Ojuelegba Flyover. Commercial buses often convert the entrances to this flyovers into bus stops and therefore cause traffic jams.

The Lagos State Government has often constructed truck barriers in order to solve this problem, but some truck drivers ram the barriers and NURTW thugs remove them at night. The government had to erect new barriers every time. At a point it just stopped erecting new ones.

After a recent accident involving a truck on the Ojuelegba Flyover, the Lagos State Government decided to erect another truck barrier.

However, a gas tanker ran into the barrier and started leaking gas. The Fire Service had to take measures to prevent a fire.

The government wants to repair the barrier and that's why it is diverting traffic.

They should not use iron to fox those railing or else those iron condemn people would steal it the following day. They can use rubber or wood.

They will still damage the barrier again. Naptu2 probably has the record of how many times that barrier has been put up and subsequently sabotaged.

Okay

They could also station lastma officials there to ward off those truck drivers bent on ing through and damaging the barrier, at least during the day
