In order to build the new Transport Interchange Terminal, the Lagos State Government has proposed a 15-month traffic diversion at Mile 2. Rail, bus, water and non-motorized transportation will all be incorporated into the diversion.
The diversion will begin on November 11, 2024, and end on February 16, 2026. The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, urged motorists to use alternative routes, stating that those heading to Oshodi from Apapa will have a through traffic, while those heading to Badagry will continue on Apapa – Oshodi Expressway and take a turn into Akinwande Road to link Coker and access Lagos – Badagry Express Way.
To help drivers find their destinations, the diversion routes have been well designated with signage. Officers from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be there to supervise traffic flow.
Since the closure is a component of the traffic management plans for the Transport Interchange Terminal project, Osiyemi asked drivers to be patient and cooperate with the interventions to minimize any difficulties.
