Lagos state government announces traffic diversion on Dorman-Long Bridge

Published

The Lagos State Government has announced traffic diversion on Dorman-Long bridge for the installation of truck barrier on Saturday, October 7, 2023, from 10pm to 7am.

This is in line with efforts of the state government to forestall incessant accidents by articulated vehicles especially on some of these bridges in the state.

This disclosure is contained in a public statement issued by the Lagos State Government on Friday, October 5, 2023, and can be seen on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

The state government in the statement said that the following alternative routes will be available to Motorists during the diversion:

Motorists from Western Avenue inbound Ikorodu Road will be diverted to Empire Road/Jibowu to continue their journeys

Motorists from Western Avenue can alternately use Agege Motor Road to link Mushin and proceed to their desired destinations.

Motorists are implored to be patient as the closure of the bridge is planned for the nighttime as part of the traffic management strategy to avert further accidents and loss of lives.

The State Government has, however, noticed the continuous damage on the truck barriers and has therefore warned again that henceforth, any driver who runs into them will face the full wrath of the Law.
