The contractor handling the project, Messrs CCECC will work on the Dopemu Bridge between Saturday, 15th March to Monday, 24th March, 2014 and thereafter move to the Iyana Ipaja Bridge from Tuesday 25th March to Saturday 5th April, 2014.
A statement by the Ministry of Transportation explained that vehicles approaching Dopemu Bridge from Ile- Zik inward Iyana Ipaja should make a u-turn back to Dopemu Bridge via the opened median along the Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway or take a left turn into Alimoso road and use the following link roads: Irepodun Street, Alaguntan, Vincent Street, Akiwowo road and Cash Street, all off Alimoso road back to Akowonjo or Iyana Ipaja road.
Similarly, vehicles coming from Orile Agege and environs approaching Dopemu Bridge will take a right turn through Surulere road to link Lagos Abeokuta Expressway and make use of the median Barrier into the earlier mentioned link roads. In addition, vehicles from Akowonjo, Shasha going into Agege will go through Lagos Abeokuta Expressway and turn at Ile Zik back to Agege.
Meanwhile at the completion of the maintenance work at Dopemu Bridge, the contractor would commence work at the Iyana Ipaja Bridge, which is also expected to be completed within Ten (10 days), during which the bridge will also be closed to public use.
Therefore, vehicles coming from Dopemu along Lagos- Abeokuta Expressway inward Iyana Bus stop and proposing to use the Iyana- Ipaja Bridge, will either make a u-turn back to Iyana-Ipaja Bridge or a left turn into Abule Oki Street at the proposed median Barrier opening along Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway, go through Chief Adebayo Street back to Iyana Ipaja Roundabout.
Also vehicles coming from Iyana Ipaja road will use the Abule Oki Street and navigate through Chief Adebayo street back to Iyana Ipaja Roundabout, while vehicles coming from Iyana Ipaja road going into Ipaja road will have to go through Dopemu Bridge.
Consequently, traffic re-routing would be carried out around these corridors to facilitate seamless flow of traffic.
Motorists and other road users are therefore advised to use alternative routes provided to avoid delays.
The State Government however appeals for caution and co-operation from all road users by obeying all traffic regulations and ensure traffic flow during the period of closure.
The State Government regret any inconveniences and has directed all relevant agencies to ensure free flow of traffic.
