In the same vein, Oladeinde advised motorists heading towards Apapa-Oshodi Expressway to make a turn at Orile Bus stop/Baale Road and connect Ogungbesan street, after Coker Bridge to access Apapa-Oworonshoki Expressway and continue their journey.
He stressed that Heavy Duty Trucks would be diverted to the existing Carriageway, adding that the earlier mentioned diversion routes were designed to cater for light/smaller vehicles hence will not be able to accommodate trucks.
