Lagos Issues Traffic Advisory as Six-Week Repair Begins on Adeniji Adele–CMS Corridor
The Lagos State Government has announced a six-week repair of the Adeniji Adele Interchange–CMS corridor, scheduled to commence on Sunday, 12 October 2025. The project, led by the Federal Ministry of Works, aims to improve road quality and reduce congestion along one of the city’s most critical traffic routes.
According to an official statement released by the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation via its X account on Wednesday, the repair works will run daily between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. from 12 October to 23 November 2025. The Ministry confirmed that only one lane will be closed at a time, while other lanes remain open to motorists to reduce congestion.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, explained that traffic management officers would be deployed at strategic locations to guide motorists and ensure a steady flow of vehicles throughout the project’s duration.
“We urge motorists to cooperate with our traffic officers and comply with all diversion signs. The lane restriction is necessary to allow the Federal Ministry of Works to carry out comprehensive repairs that will improve road quality and the overall driving experience along this corridor,” Osiyemi said.
Collaboration Between Federal and State Governments
Mr. Osiyemi added that the initiative is part of a broader collaboration between the Federal and Lagos State Governments to strengthen road infrastructure, enhance connectivity, and improve safety standards across the metropolis. He emphasised that such interventions are crucial to maintaining the structural integrity of major corridors linking Lagos Island to the Mainland.
Economic and Mobility Implications
The Adeniji Adele–CMS corridor serves as a vital link for thousands of vehicles travelling daily through key commercial districts such as Marina, Broad Street, and Victoria Island. The route supports both business and commuter traffic, making it one of the busiest arteries within the Lagos Island transport network.
Upon completion, the rehabilitation is expected to reduce travel time, ease persistent traffic bottlenecks, and enhance the overall commuting experience for motorists and businesses operating in the area.
Conclusion
The six-week repair of the Adeniji Adele–CMS corridor underscores the government’s commitment to improving Lagos’s transport infrastructure and addressing long-standing mobility challenges in the city. As roadworks commence, motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and adhere to all traffic directives to ensure safety and efficiency during the repair period.
