The Federal Ministry of Works has announced partial closure of sections of the Ikorodu-Sagamu Road from Monday to facilitate the completion of ongoing reconstruction works.

n

The Federal Controller of Works in Ogun State, Mr Olayiwola Komolafe, made this known in a statement on Saturday.

n

He said the closure followed a directive by the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, ordering the contractor, Messrs Arab Contractors, to resume work on critical sections of the highway to ensure prompt delivery of the project.

n

According to Komolafe, the affected sections are the stretch from Ikorodu Roundabout to Sabo Junction in Lagos, and from Cement to Coca-Cola inward Sagamu.

n

Komolafe said that traffic from Ikorodu to Sagamu would be diverted through the construction corridors under a counterflow arrangement.

n

He said the construction would last for three months to allow the execution of works and curing of the rigid pavement.

n

The controller said that officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority would be deployed to manage traffic during the period specially.

n

He appealed to motorists to cooperate with traffic managers and law enforcement officers.

n

Komolafe said the ministry regretted any inconvenience the reconstruction work might cause to road users.
