Lagos To Divert Traffic At Apapa Road For Rail Project by naptu2: 8:00am On Nov 12, 2021
LRMT RED LINE PROJECT: LASG TO DIVERT TRAFFIC AT APAPA ROAD, OYINGBO

In continuation of the ongoing Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Redline Project Phase I (Oyingbo - Agbado), the Lagos State Government will divert traffic at Apapa Road in Oyingbo area of the State from Tuesday, 16th November 2021 to Tuesday, 11th January 2022, a duration of two months.

A statement signed by the Honourable Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, explained that the diversion will necessitate a partial closure of the road for the commencement of construction of Oyingbo Overpass.

Assuring that alternative routes have been mapped out for motorists and road users, the Commissioner revealed that the traffic flow on Apapa Road will be eased with the provision of temporary lanes for motorists during the construction period.

In the same vein, he noted that traffic on Murtala Mohammed Way will be diverted from Abeokuta Street to link Borno Way inwards Coates Street to access Murtala Mohammed Way, adding that motorists will be able to access Cemetery Street from Abeokuta Street.

Oladeinde stressed that there will be no inbound and outbound traffic from Ibadan Street, Ondo Street and Jebba Street, maintaining that Borno Way will serve as an alternative route as well.

The Transport Commissioner reassured that the State Traffic Management Authority will be available to complement the signs mounted along the routes to guide motorists and minimise any form of inconvenience.

While soliciting the cooperation of motorists towards the success of the project, he reiterated the commitment of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration towards the development of transport infrastructure within the metropolis, adding that a Multi-Modal Transportation System will boost the economic prowess of the citizenry and the State at large.

Another traffic diversion even as Yuletide is approaching? Why not start in January when most Easterners would have travelled home?

Several roads are even shut at the moment. This doesn't make sense.

That road has been the only alternative getting to island/Lekki areas through costain roundabout to 3rd mainland bridge since the never ending road construction started at CMS.

Now the road is about to be closed while CMS is still under heavy construction gridlock....

Make it make sense Mr Pointus.


For the record: I'll keep saying it every time, the solution to ease traffic congestion in Lagos is not more roads and bridges or train, it's just good laws.

Ask me how?: When our politicians and fortunate Nigerians go abroad to developed countries they enjoy decent and standard public transport, but when they return to Nigeria the see public transport as for the very poor.

What the government in Lagos should do instead of wasting land space that they don't even have in the first place to build more roads and bridges or train is to;

1) Place heavy taxes on private cars (with no exceptions to politicians and ogas at the top): This will lead to almost 70-80% of cars disappearing from the roads within a year, this taxes should be paid daily, weekly or monthly but not yearly.

These people who will then dispose and abandon their cars will then need decent public transport (buses) which should be provided at various rate by the government depending on the level of comfort the individuals desire.

And the blue rail from Marina to Okoko has no time-line? Trust this people at your own peril. Some of these projects, if not all, are just money laundry/embezzlement and party members "settlement" avenues.
