The Lagos State Government has announced the closure of Ikorodu Road from the NNPC Filling Station (by Anibaba Street) to the Mile 12 Bridge, for 20 days.

Motorists from Ketu inward Ikorodu will exit the service lane from Ile-Ile bus stop to join a lane to Mile 12 Bridge from 2pm daily, while the normal flow of traffic would be maintained from 12 midnight to 2pm”.
