The Lagos State government has announced the shutting of the Second Rainbow bus stop along Apapa/Oshodi expressway to traffic from December 24, 2022, to January 5, 2023.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, said the closure is to allow the launching of beams at that axis of the highway, hence the need to avoid vehicular interference and ensure safety of motorists.
Oladeinde, therefore, urged motorists on the Apapa bound lane from Cele bus stop heading inwards Mile 2 axis to utilize the FESTAC link road at Second Rainbow, and make a left turn, after which they are to follow traffic signs to continue their journey.
Also, motorists on the Oshodi bound lane towards Cele bus stop are advised to make a right turn at the Second Rainbow bus stop and proceed to their desired destinations.
Oladeinde further assured that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be deployed along the axis to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
He stated that diversion signs have also been placed along the affected corridor to guide and minimize inconveniences for motorists.
The commissioner wished residents peaceful yuletide celebrations and assured that the current administration will deliver on its promises to the citizenry.
