The Lagos State Government, through its Ministry of Transportation, has announced a planned traffic diversion at Mile 2 to facilitate the construction of the new Multi-Model Interchange Hub. This project aims to integrate rail, bus, water, and non-motorized transport modes, simplifying travel and improving connectivity to other parts of Lagos.
The diversion will affect traffic on Loop 1 (Apapa-bound lane) and Loop 4 (Badagry-bound lane) of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, beginning on Monday, November 11, 2024, and is expected to remain in effect until Monday, February 16, 2026.
In a statement, Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi explained that the government had arranged alternative routes to minimize disruption for motorists as follows:
Motorists heading to Oshodi from Apapa – Direct passage will be available.
Motorists heading to Badagry from Apapa – Continue on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, turn onto Akinwande Road, connect with Coker, and access the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Motorists heading to Lagos from Badagry – Direct passage will be available.
Motorists heading to Apapa – Divert to Durban Road, link Amuwo Odofin Estate, and rejoin the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
The Commissioner assured the public that all diversion routes would be clearly marked, with signage guiding motorists.
