The Lagos State Government has announced traffic diversion around Osborne Road in Ikoyi, Eti-Osa Local Government for two days.
It will begin from Friday, August 15 to Sunday, August 17.
The state Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.
He said that the plan became necessary to minimise disruption that will occur from connecting the drains along Modupe Alakija Crescent to the drains along the median on Osborne Road.
“In line with efforts to improve the drainage system on Modupe Alakija Crescent and its environs, there is a need to connect the newly constructed drains, via a cross culvert, to the underground channel beneath the median along Osborne Road.
“The construction of this cross culvert will require cutting a section of Osborne Road (before Foreshore Towers).
“The work is scheduled to commence by 10pm on Friday, August 15 and end by midnight on Sunday, August 17,” he said.
He noted that a traffic management plan would be implemented over the two-day period to minimise disruption.
