In line with efforts to forestall incessant articulated vehicle accidents which has claimed lives and property on some bridges in Lagos State and with the installation of truck barriers on them, the Lagos State Government has announced traffic diversion on the night of Saturday, 7th October, 2023 for the installation of the Dorma- Long Bridge truck barrier, from 10.00pm to 7.00am.
Consequently, the following alternative routes will be available to Motorists during the diversion;
i. Motorists from Western Avenue inbound Ikorodu Road will be diverted to Empire Road/ Jibowu to continue their journeys
ii. 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 brief closure of the bridge is planned for night time as part of 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.
