Hotonu added that there would be a complete closure of roads in the area sometimes during the construction.
He said, “However, adequate arrangements have been firmed up to mitigate the impact of the closure of the roads on motorists and residents. Traffic diversion routes have been created to ensure ease of movement along the corridor.
“The construction of the flyover embarked upon by the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is part of the continuous drive to ease traffic in the metropolis and boost the economy.”
The permanent secretary said the restriction of movement would last for between three and six months.
He said, “Vehicles coming from Ogba/Oba Ogunji, except articulated vehicles, are expected to come in through Ijaiye Low Cost Housing Estate to link Iju Road; articulated vehicles and other vehicles have the option of either turning right towards Iju Road at the Pen Cinema intersection or left towards Moshalashi Alhaja.
“Vehicles coming from Iju Road should go towards Moshalashi Alhaja or turn towards Oba Ogunji/ Ogba as the turning towards the right to the Railway crossing will remain closed.
“There will be a complete closure of the road for vehicles coming from Moshalashi Alhaja towards the Railway crossing, while vehicles coming from Moshalashi Alhaja will be expected to either move towards Iju Road or turn right towards Oba Ogunji/Ogba Road.”

@Akintoye: Not at all. It is a sacrifice every Lagosian irrespective of their tribe have to make to enjoy the road when completed.

Gov. Ambode is doing great transforming Lagos State into an outstanding city, I saw the prototype of the bridge & was so impressed by it & the duration it's gonna take. While some governors can't even complete the major & minor ones that was started by their predecessors, & they say they wanna come back 2019, what a shame. Nice one Endy Edeson, A wiser 2018 I wish us as youths, I think its hi time we knew that we have the power to change the destiny of this country by voting out non preforming & recycled leaders & vote in young vibrant & vision oriented leaders like Sir Ambode. If we don't keep tribalism & ethnocentrism aside, I tell you, we ain't gonna make headway. 2019 is by d corner, let's put our heads together for our future.
