Gridlock is expected in the Lagos mainland following the decision of the state government to partially close the Murtala Mohammed Way Yaba for a year starting from Wednesday 9 June.
The closure is to enable work on the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line Projects progresses unhindered through completion.
“For prompt realization of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line project, the Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Transportation, has approved the partial closure of the Murtala Muhammed Way, Yaba from Wednesday, 9th of June 2021 for 12 months” says Craneburg Construction Company LTD and LAMATA
The closure will enable the contractor Messrs. Craneburg Construction Company LTD commence work on the construction of an overpass at Murtala Muhammed Way into Ojuelegba Road, Yaba.
Consequently, access through Murtala Mohammed Way will be restricted from three lanes to one lane with the closure of the BRT lane during the period of construction. Traffic will also be diverted to the access Road leading to the Yaba Terminal and Ojuelegba Road.
However, traffic managers will be on ground for effective traffic management and control. Motorists are hereby advised to use alternative routes, drive within speed limits and adhere to all traffic signs on the construction corridor.
The Lagos State Government notes that it regrets any inconveniences the partial closure of the road may cause the public.
