The Lagos State Government will from 8p.m., Thursday, close down Jonathan Coker Street at Fagba area till 6a.m. the next day to pave way for the installation of the rubber panels on the Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge rail project.
Alternative routes have been provided for road users to utilise during the course of the construction to ensure motorists reach their various destinations with ease.
Motorists plying Jonathan Coker axis will be diverted to the Ashade, Toyin and Adejobi Level Crossing to reduce the inconvenience of the ongoing construction and aid road users to get to their various destinations.
The closure has been slated at this time, to ensure there is smooth and uninterrupted flow of work on the rail tracks.
Lagos State Government is hereby appealing to residents of the state, especially motorists that ply these corridors to bear the pains, as the project is aimed at achieving a seamless multi modal transport system that will meet the transportation need of a larger population. (The Nation)
