The Lagos State Government has announced a temporary traffic diversion around Osborne Road in Ikoyi, Eti-Osa Local Government Area, from 10 p.m. on Friday, August 15, to midnight on Sunday, August 17.
Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said in a statement on Tuesday that the diversion is necessary to connect new drains along Modupe Alakija Crescent to the underground drainage system beneath Osborne Road’s median.
According to him, the work will involve cutting a section of Osborne Road before Foreshore Towers, with a traffic management plan put in place to reduce disruptions.
The arrangement will include a counterflow system on Osborne/Alfred Rewane Road for about 100 metres—from Modupe Alakija Crescent to the Alfred Rewane junction. Motorists heading from Alfred Rewane Road to Osborne Road will be diverted into a contraflow lane, while those inbound Alfred Rewane from Osborne will be restricted to one lane.
For alternative routes, motorists from Osborne Road to Alfred Rewane Road are advised to use Oba Adeyemi Oyekan Avenue to connect Glover Road, Lugard Avenue, or Cameron Road. Those coming from Alfred Rewane Road towards Osborne should take the reverse route.
Osiyemi said normal traffic flow will resume on Monday, August 18, with the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on hand to guide motorists and ease movement.
