The Lagos State Government on Friday announced the
commencement of the construction of Ajah Reinforced Concrete Flyover, just as
it said that vehicular movement in and Around Ajah roundabout would henceforth
be disallowed from Tuesday, June 7, 2016.
The State’s Commissioner for Works and
Infrastructure, Engr. Ganiyu Johnson, in a statement he signed said the Bridge
which would be constructed by Messrs. Hitech Construction Company
Ltd, on completion, would alleviate the traffic gridlocks been experienced
by motorists in Ajah and its environs.
He said as part of the traffic management
strategies to minimise the effects of the closure on motorists during the
construction period, several diversion/alternative roads have been made
available for use by motorists.
He listed the diversions to include: “Main
Diversion/By-pass: The newly constructed 2-lane dual carriageway running between
the existing carriageway of the Eti-Osa/Lekki/Epe Expressway and the fence of
Royal Garden Estate shall serve as the main diversion in both directions.
”Alternative Routes Outward Lekki Scheme 1 Inward
Ajah Roundabout: Turn off Eti-Osa/Lekki/Epe Expressway at Ilaje bus-stop, onto
Mobil Road to connect the road network within Lekki Scheme II to Ogombo Road
and return to the Expressway at Abraham Adesanya roundabout.
“Turn off at Ikota 1st Gate Bus Stop onto Gbola
Gas Road after Mega Chicken to link Mobil Road, connect the road network within
Lekki Scheme II to Ogombo Road and return to the Expressway at Abraham Adesanya
roundabout.
“Alternative Routes Outward Abraham Adesanya
Estate Inward Ajah Roundabout: Turn off Thomas Estate Road to Kemfat Road after
Ajiwe Police Station onto Modupe Young Street to connect Ado-Badore Road.
“Turn off St. Gregory Road beside PHCN Substation
onto Modupe Young Street to link Ado-Badore Road.
“Alternative Routes Outward Ado-Badore Road Inward
Ajah Roundabout: Turn off Ado-Badore Road to link Market/Ayetoro Road and
connect Eti-Osa/Lekki/Epe Expressway at Berger Bus Stop/Ikota junction.
“This notice serves as awareness information on
the closure of Ajah Intersection. Motorists and other Road Users are therefore
advised to use any of the diversion roads.
“The State Government appeals for caution and
co-operation from all road users by obeying all traffic regulations and
ensuring free flow of traffic during the construction period. Finally, the
State Government, while regretting any inconvenience, has directed all relevant
Agencies to ensure free flow of traffic”, Johnson said.
