Motoring public who might want to use the Lekki-Victoria Island axis as well as other adjoining roads leading to the coastal road have been urged to make use of alternative roads as all those roads would be closed on Saturday.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation Oluwaseun Osiyemi who disclosed this on Wednesday, said the roads would be closed to motorists because of the this year’s edition of the Lagos City Marathon taking place on Saturday, 14th February, 2026.
The marathon which consist of a 42 and 10 kilometre race, will take place simultaneously using the following routes;
The First, 42 kilometre race, will commence at Ahmadu Bello (By MRS Gas Station) route and run through the entire stretch of the Coastal Road which is the end point of the race.
The Second, 10 kilometre race, will cover Durosimi Etti (Lekki Phase 1), the starting point and run through Ozumba Mbadiwe to Bishop Oluwole to Akin Adesola and Sanusi Fafunwa which is the end point.
In line with the traffic management plan, all affected adjoining roads, junctions and intersections along race one and two will be blocked from 12.00am and 12.30pm on Saturday, 14th February, 2026. They will be opened intermittently to motorists as the race progresses.
All affected adjoining roads will be manned by LASTMA, and other security agencies to prevent other road users access to the main race corridor.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, reassured Lagosians that Traffic Management Officials will be strategically positioned to help motorists navigate their journeys.
He also urged the public to plan their trips accordingly by using alternative routes and other modes of transportation.
