The Lagos State Government has announced a six-week partial closure of the service lane inbound Maryland from the end of Gani Fawehinmi Park to the end of the second pedestrian bridge, Ojota, with effect from Tuesday, November 17, 2020.
This was contained in a statement signed by the State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, on Monday.
Oladeinde stated that the partial closure is to allow the contractor handling the stretch of the project from Ojota to Maryland to continue with the next phase of the construction, which includes the reconstruction of the Ikorodu road.
“By the new arrangement, motorists coming from Ikeja axis are advised to use 7UP road through Billings way to link Oregun/Kudirat Abiola Way inbound Ikorodu road by Ojota bus stop.

The commissioner assured that adequate road signs have been provided to guide motorists movement.
