The Lagos State Government has announced the closure of the PWD rail level crossing to vehicular traffic, effective May 1.
This decision was made after a recent survey by the Ministry of Transportation highlighted the need for proactive measures to ensure commuter safety along the PWD route.
According to Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the closure is necessary to prevent further accidents along the corridor.
To minimize inconvenience, motorists are advised to use alternative routes via Ikeja along overpass or Airport road/bridge to access or exit the GRA.
Additionally, LASTMA officers will be deployed to manage vehicular movement in the affected areas.
