The Lagos State Government has announced an eight-hour road closure and traffic diversion in preparation for the Lagos City Marathon scheduled for Saturday, February 15, 2025.
State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, made the announcement in a statement released on Tuesday, February 11. He said that the marathon will take place between 5:00 am and 1:00 pm.
Osiyemi explained that the marathon will commence at the National Stadium in Surulere and follow the following routes: Ikorodu Road towards Anthony (Bertola), Gbagada to the Third Mainland Bridge, Inbound Lagos Island through Dolphin Road, Alfred Rewane Road, Falomo Roundabout, and Bourdillon Road, Crossing the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge to Admiralty Way, Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Akin Adesola, and Ahmadu Bello Way, concluding at Eko Atlantic.
He said that to ensure safety and prevent unauthorised access to the race corridor, adjoining roads, junctions, and intersections will be blocked with concrete barriers. Traffic officials from LASTMA, NPF, FRSC, LSNC, and LAWMA will be stationed at strategic points.
He mentioned that the following alternative routes have been mapped out to ensure seamless commuting during the marathon:
From Ikeja: Use Ikorodu Road/Funsho Williams Avenue, connect to Eko Bridge, and proceed via Outer Marina.
From Badagry/Mile 2: Pass through Apapa via Orile, link Eko Bridge, and continue through Outer Marina.
From Surulere: Access the island via Iponri/Iganmu, linking Eko Bridge to Outer Marina.
From Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (Mowe and environs): Take the Ojota Slip Road, connect Ikorodu Road, and continue through Funsho Williams Avenue to Eko Bridge.
From Okota: Use Mile 2/Orile, connecting to Eko Bridge and Outer Marina.
From Sango-Otta: Pass through Mushin, link Funsho Williams Avenue, and proceed to Eko Bridge.
From Epe-Lekki Expressway (Ajah and environs): Use Marwa Junction, connect Admiralty Way, and cross the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
From Lagos Island: Divert to Apongbon Bridge, then Eko Bridge, accessing Costain Roundabout, Iponri, and Bode Thomas.
Alternative: Drive through Victoria Island, link Independence Bridge, and proceed via Apongbon to Ijora-Olopa and Herbert Macaulay Road.
The Third Mainland Bridge will be closed to traffic heading towards Lagos Island but will remain open for motorists going to the Mainland.
Osiyemi reassured residents that traffic management officials would be deployed to minimise disruptions and urged the public to plan their trips accordingly by using alternative routes and other transportation options.
He called for patience, noting that the partial and total road closures are part of traffic management plans for the 10th Edition of the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.
