The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), has developed plans to address the expected increase in traffic congestion in Jibowu to Agnes axis in Lagos State.

In a statement issued on Thursday, by Mr Olalekan Bakare-Oki, the General Manager, LASTMA, noted that the expected traffic congestion is due to plans by the Ministry of Works and Drainage to rehabilitate the project sites (Jibowu to Agnes) with comprehensive traffic management measure.

He advised commuters heading towards these areas to take alternative routes from Fadeyi-Jibowu via Muritala Mohammed Way to Montgomery Road, adding that motorists can connect to Harvey Road and then to Agnes Junction.

“From there, they can navigate through Sabo and Alagomeji to the Third Mainland Bridge.

Vehicles bound for Obalende from Fadeyi to Jibowu via Muritala Mohammed Way can link to Herbert Macaulay from Alagomeji and continue their journey to Adekunle, then connect to the Third Mainland Bridge.

“Motorists coming from Mushin en route to Empire heading to Obalende can follow the same route to connect to UNILAG or Obalende,” he added.

“Robust collaboration with other law enforcement and security agencies is in place to manage traffic and handle unforeseen circumstances.

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this closure, which is part of our efforts to ensure a serene and weather-resilient atmosphere in Lagos,” he averred.
