In a statement by Public Education Officer, Ogun State Sector Command, Florence Okpe, the diversion is expected to take place on Sunday, September 2 to January 15, 2019, to enable Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, the construction company rehabilitating the Lagos to Sagamu segment of the expressway carry out resurfacing work on the highway.

However, Ogun State Sector Commander, FRSC, Clement Oladele, has advised motorists to bear with the inconveniences of the temporary diversion and cooperate with the FRSC patrol team assisted by sister traffic and emergency agencies that will be strategically deployed to control the diverted traffic through out the period of the diversion.
