The Lagos State Government has unveiled a traffic diversion plan in preparation for the Lagos Gran Fondo “Eko 170” Cycling Race, scheduled for Sunday, January 11, from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
According to a statement on Saturday by Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the 170-kilometre race, organised by Dynastar Sport and Education Foundation, will feature two routes:
70km Route: Riders will start at Eko Atlantic and follow Ahmadu Bello Way, Coastal Road, Okun-Ajah Community Road, Ogombo Road, Abraham Adesanya Junction, Lekki-Epe Expressway, and Sangotedo, before returning to the finish line at Eko Atlantic.
170km Route: Starting at Eko Atlantic, cyclists will follow the same initial path but continue to Epe T-Junction, Ita Marun Junction, Poka-Araga Road, Oke Osho Junction, Temu Road, back to Epe T-Junction, and finally return to Eko Atlantic.
To ensure smooth traffic flow and public safety, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), alongside other security agencies, will monitor all adjoining roads, junctions, and intersections along the race routes to prevent unauthorized access.
Osiyemi urged motorists to exercise patience, cooperate with traffic officials, and follow instructions, noting that roads along the routes will remain partially open. He emphasized that these measures are aimed at protecting both participants and road users during the event.
The Lagos Gran Fondo “Eko 170” is a mass participation cycling event designed to promote Lagos as a leading destination for sports tourism, healthy living, and sustainable mobility.
