Oladeinde explained that motorists from Toyota would use the service lanes by Armed Forces Resettlement Centre to BOC Gases on old NAFDAC Headquarters.

He said “In the light of this growth, the state traffic management officials shall be positioned to the abovementioned hallways to control and manage traffic flow along the axis during the course of the diversions.

Oladeinde added that the  Lagos State Government is assuring the motoring public that the Airport Bridge shall be opened for use as soon as the tests or requisite intervention makes it safe and secure to do so,”.
