The Federal Government has announced a temporary, partial closure along parts of the Ikorodu–Sagamu Road to allow contractors resume critical reconstruction work on the busy corridor.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Federal Controller of Works in Ogun State, Olayiwola Komolafe, said the move followed a directive from the Minister of Works, David Umahi, instructing the construction firm handling the project to return to key portions of the road to speed up completion.

According to the controller, the affected areas include the stretch between Ikorodu Roundabout and Sabo Junction in Lagos, as well as the section from Cement through Coca-Cola heading inward Sagamu.

Motorists travelling from Ikorodu towards Sagamu will be redirected through the construction path using a counterflow system during the period of the work.

Komolafe explained that the exercise is expected to last for about three months to allow for proper execution of the rigid pavement and adequate curing time.

To ease traffic congestion, officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be stationed along the corridor to control vehicular movement and guide road users.

He appealed to drivers to be patient and cooperate with traffic officers and security personnel, assuring that the ministry is mindful of the inconvenience the project may cause but emphasized that the rehabilitation is necessary for safer and smoother travel on the highway.
