The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion plan ahead of the 10th Edition of the Lagos Women Run, scheduled for Saturday, November 8, starting at 6:00 a.m.
Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, provided the details in a press release on Thursday.
“The 10-kilometre race, organised by the Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) in partnership with other stakeholders, will take off from Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) and end at Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.
“As a result, there will be partial road closure of TBS, Water Board, Old NITEL, Outer Marina, Officers Mess, Bonny Camp Bridge, State House, and Ahmadu Bello Way.
”Others are Akin Adesola Street, Falomo Bridge, Falomo Roundabout, Awolowo Road, Onikan Roundabout, and Mobolaji Johnson Arena,” he said.
He added that traffic officials from LASTMA, the Police, Federal Road Safety Corps, and Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps would be on hand to manage traffic and ensure the safety of both participants and road users.
Motorists were advised to use alternative routes during the event.
“Traffic from Ozumba Mbadiwe heading to Third Mainland Bridge is to go through Bonny Camp to Onikan Underpass to link Marina Exit to Force Road to connect Outer Marina to Third Mainland Bridge and continue their journeys.
“Motorists from Apongbon heading to Ikoyi are to use Odunlami Street to link Igbosere Road to Moloney Street to connect Ikoyi Road and continue their journeys,” he said.
He appealed to all motorists to exercise patience and obey traffic officials, noting that the closures would be temporary.
