The Lagos State Government has announced that there will be a further restriction of vehicular movement in the Agege area of the state.
The government revealed this in a statement on Friday by the Permanent Secretary at Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Mr Jimi Hotonu.
In a bid to deliver the Pen Cinema Flyover on schedule, Mr Hotonu explained that the restriction would be effective at the Agege Intersection between Railway crossing and Church Street along Agunbiade Street in the axis.
He added that due to the restriction, vehicles coming from Ipaja road towards Ogba would no longer be able to turn left at Oke-Koto.
They would, however, be required to straight towards Agege Motor road and take left turn to connect the alternative route beside Agege Post Office to link Moshalashi Alhaji and further their journey.
The Permanent Secretary also advised motorists coming from Old Abeokuta Motor Road (Abule Egba) towards Oke-Koto/Alfa Nla roads to turn right at Abattoir into Oko-Oba road to link Orile Road and further their journey to NITEL into Orile road and then turn into Fagbola/Adejobi Street, to navigate into Agege Motor road via Kasumu Street, Off Agunbiade road.
He said the state government regrets the inconveniences the restriction would cause motorists and residents in the area.
Hotonu further appealed to them to remain calm and cooperate with traffic and security personnel deployed to ease their movement.
He assured the affected persons that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration remains committed to delivering the project on schedule, to make life easy and improve traffic along the corridor.
