Travel advisory
The alternative routes which have been mapped out for motorists are: Traffic from Bonny Camp heading to Ahmadu Bello Way inwards Adetokunbo Ademola Street will be diverted into Tiamiyu Savage Street to link Olosa Street and access Adetokunbo Ademola Street for the desired destinations.
Traffic from Eko Hotel Roundabout/Adetokunbo Ademola Street heading to Bonny Camp Bridge will be diverted to Sanusi Fafunwa Street to link Akin Adesola Street and connect back to Ahmadu Bello Way to reach desired destinations.
Osiyemi therefore, assured motorists that the State Traffic Management Authority will be on the ground to minimize inconveniences and ensure steady vehicular movement along the designated corridor.
“We urge motorists to be patient, as the total closure of the 200-meter distance from Tiamiyu Savage Street to the end of Ahmadu Bello Way/Adetokunbo Ademola Street is part of traffic management plan to create innovative ways of promoting Non-Motorized Transportation in the state,” he concluded.
