Lagos govt to divert traffic on Ahmadu Bello Way for festival

The Lagos State government has announced that traffic will be diverted away from a 200-metre section of Ahmadu Bello Way, covering Tiamiyu Savage Street to Adetokunbo Ademola Street, on Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm for the 2024 Sustainable Transport Festival.

Consequently, this 200-metre section of Ahmadu Bello Way will be completely closed off to traffic. The following alternative routes have been mapped out for motorists: Traffic from Bonny Camp heading to Ahmadu Bello Way towards Adetokunbo Ademola Street will be diverted into Tiamiyu Savage Street to link Olosa Street and access Adetokunbo Ademola Street for their desired destinations.

Traffic from Eko Hotel Roundabout/Adetokunbo Ademola Street heading to Bonny Camp Bridge will be diverted to Sanusi Fafunwa Street to link Akin Adesola Street and reconnect to Ahmadu Bello Way to reach desired destinations.

The Commissioner for Transportation has assured motorists that the state traffic management authority will be on the ground to minimise inconveniences and ensure steady vehicular movement along the designated corridor.

Motorists are, therefore, urged to be patient, as the total closure of the 200-metre distance from Tiamiyu Savage Street to the end of Ahmadu Bello Way/Adetokunbo Ademola Street is part of the traffic management plan to promote non-motorised transportation in the state.
