LASG
announces traffic diversion along Marina
The Lagos
State Government has announced that there will be diversion of traffic
along
the outer Marina between 6a.m and 2p.m on Sunday 9th July to allow the Lagos
Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) install some equipment for the
Light Rail project.
A release by
the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, stated
that the diversion is to facilitate the safe location of the mobile crane
needed to launch the bailey beams for the ongoing Lagos Rail Mass Transit
(LRMT) Blue Line Project.
It explained
that the diversion is in compliance with public safety standards expected
during installation of equipment and infrastructure for the rail project.
The release
stated that access to outer Marina would be restricted from Leventis as
motorists would be diverted into inner Marina through the roundabout by UBA
building.
Also,
motorists coming from Eko and Carter Bridges toward outer Marina to link either
the Cowrie Bridge or Victoria Island will use the roundabout to inner Marina
and access the Third Mainland Bridge, Ikoyi and Victoria Island through
Military Road.
While
assuring road users that appropriate measures have been put in place to ensure
free-flow of traffic, the release urged all motorists to cooperate with traffic
officials during the period by obeying road diversion signs along the specified
routes.
