The Federal Government is set to implement a temporary closure of specific portions of the Ikorodu–Sagamu Road starting Monday to facilitate essential repair work on degraded sections. This development was confirmed by Olayiwola Komolafe, the Federal Controller of Works for Ogun State, who noted that the move is required to allow contractors to advance restoration efforts on key segments of the highway.
Komolafe indicated that Minister of Works David Umahi has instructed Arab Contractors to resume operations on the site and accelerate the completion of critical project components. The affected areas encompass the stretch from Ikorodu Roundabout to Sabo Junction, as well as the section from Lagos Cement to the Coca-Cola facility heading toward Sagamu.
For motorists traveling from Ikorodu to Sagamu, a counterflow traffic arrangement will be implemented, redirecting vehicles through alternative lanes during the rehabilitation period. The project is anticipated to span three months, allowing for construction activities and proper curing of the concrete pavement.
To manage traffic flow and reduce congestion along the corridor, officials from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be stationed at strategic points. The ministry has called on road users to cooperate with traffic management personnel and security agencies throughout the duration of the works. An appeal was also made for understanding regarding any inconvenience caused by the repairs.
