The Lagos State Government announced that junctions and intersections from Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) to Mobolaji Johnson Arena will be closed to traffic on Saturday, November 9, 2024, for the annual Lagos Women Run.
In a statement on Friday, Commissioner for Transportation Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi shared details of the traffic diversion plan to assist motorists. “Motorists heading to Third Mainland Bridge from Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue are advised to go through Bonny Camp to connect Onikan Underpass inwards Marina Exit to access Force Road to link Outer Marina and Third Mainland Bridge to reach their destinations,” he stated.
The planned race route includes TBS, Water Board, Old NITEL, Outer Marina, Bonny Camp Bridge, and Onikan Roundabout, with closures on Ahmadu Bello Way, Akin Adesola Street, Falomo Bridge, Falomo Roundabout, and Awolowo Road. The statement highlighted alternative routes, noting, “Motorists heading to Ikoyi Road from Apongbon are to use Odunlami Street to connect Igbosere Road and proceed to Moloney Street to access Ikoyi Road.”
Osiyemi added that traffic barriers would be in place, manned by LASTMA, NPF, FRSC, and LSNC officials. He encouraged motorists to be patient, as the partial road closure is designed to minimize disruption during the event.
