The Lagos State Government has announced plans to divert traffic in parts of the state ahead of the 10th edition of the Lagos Women Run, scheduled for Saturday from 6 a.m.
The Lagos Women Run, an all-female 10km race, is organised by the Lagos State Sports Commission in partnership with other stakeholders.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the race will start at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) and finish at the 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,” Osiyemi said.
He noted that officials from LASTMA, the Nigeria Police, FRSC, and the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps will be deployed to manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of participants and motorists throughout the event.
Osiyemi advised motorists to use alternative routes, adding that diversions would be temporary and lifted immediately after the race.
“Traffic from Ozumba Mbadiwe heading to Third Mainland Bridge should go through Bonny Camp to Onikan Underpass, link Marina Exit to Force Road, and connect Outer Marina to Third Mainland Bridge.
Motorists from Apongbon heading to Ikoyi are to use Odunlami Street to link Igbosere Road to Moloney Street, then connect Ikoyi Road to continue their journeys,” he explained.
The commissioner appealed to residents and motorists for patience and cooperation, assuring that the event would be managed with minimal disruption to movement.
