Following a recent survey conducted by the Ministry of Transportation after the commencement of operations on the Red Line Train Service, it has become necessary to implement proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of commuters along the PWD route.
In line with this, the Lagos State Government has announced the closure of the rail crossing at the PWD axis to vehicular traffic, effective from Thursday, 1st May, 2025. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes via Ikeja or Airport roads to reach their destinations.
Reiterating the need for the closure, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, stated that the decision was made to prevent further accidents along the corridor. He further assured the public that LASTMA officers will be deployed to the affected areas to manage vehicular movement and reduce inconvenience to road users.
Motorists are urged to take note of the closure as part of the Lagos State Government’s traffic management strategies aimed at safeguarding lives and property along the corridor.
