“Traffic diversion will not affect motorists on the Dopemu/Abule Egba bound side of the road during the course of the demolition.
“The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be on ground to manage vehicular movement and minimise inconveniences.
“The lanes would be cordoned off with jersey barriers and protective nets to keep motorists and commuters safe during the period,” he added.
