The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun State Sector Command, has notified motorists of a temporary traffic diversion along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as the Federal Ministry of Works begins the installation of warning gantries on bridges across the route.
The traffic advisory was issued on Wednesday in a statement signed by the Superintendent Route Commander, Afolabi Odunsi.
According to the FRSC, the diversion will affect road users travelling towards Ibadan, particularly along the Magboro-Ibafo axis of the expressway.
The agency explained that the project is being executed by Buildwell Construction Company on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Works.
Installation activities have already commenced at the first bridge located in front of Mountain Top University at Kilometer 13, before Ibafo. The work is expected to reach a critical phase on Thursday, June 25, 2026.
The statement noted:
“The Federal Ministry of Works, through Buildwell Construction Company, is undertaking the installation of warning gantries in front of bridges along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
“The installation process at the first bridge located in front of Mountain Top University (KM 13), before Ibafo, has commenced and is expected to reach its peak on Thursday, 25 June 2026.”
To ensure safety during the installation process, the FRSC said a temporary diversion would be introduced for vehicles travelling towards Ibadan.
Under the arrangement, cars, buses, pickup vans and mini trucks will be redirected through the Magboro Under-Bridge to Ibafo before reconnecting with the expressway at the NASFAT U-turn.
The statement added:
“Cars, buses, pickup vans and mini trucks will be diverted through the Magboro Under-Bridge to Ibafo and subsequently rejoined to the expressway at the NASFAT U-turn.”
The FRSC also revealed that articulated vehicles will be temporarily held back while the diversion operation is ongoing.
According to the agency, the exercise is expected to last approximately 60 minutes.
Motorists have been advised to remain patient and comply with all traffic directives issued by FRSC officers and other traffic management personnel stationed along the affected route.
The statement said:
“Motorists are advised to exercise patience, obey all traffic regulations, and strictly follow the directions of FRSC personnel and other traffic management officials deployed to the area.”
The corps apologised for any inconvenience the temporary traffic arrangement may cause, emphasizing that the exercise is necessary to improve road safety and infrastructure along the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway corridor.
