In a bid to improve the state’s drainage system during the rainy season, the Lagos State Government has announced plans to cut off vehicular traffic along Osborne Road (before Foreshore Towers) and Alfred Rewane Road between 10:00 p.m. on Friday, 15th August, 2025 and midnight on Sunday, 17th August, 2025.
The planned traffic management is part of efforts to improve the drainage system on Modupe Alakija Crescent and its environs, connecting newly constructed drains, via a cross culvert, to the underground channel beneath the median along Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Eti-Osa LGA.
Traffic Management Plan
A traffic management plan will be implemented over the two days to minimise disruption. This will involve a counter-flow arrangement along Osborne/Alfred Rewane Road, spanning approximately 100 meters from Modupe Alakija Crescent to the Alfred Rewane Road junction.
Motorists heading to Osborne Road from Alfred Rewane Road will be diverted into a contraflow lane inbound Osborne Road, before reconnecting to their normal lane. Motorists inbound Alfred Rewane Road from Osborne Road will be restricted to one lane to allow for the counter-flow.
Alternative Routes
Motorists from Osborne Road heading towards Alfred Rewane Road should use Oba Adeyemi Oyekan Avenue to connect to Glover Road, Lugard Avenue, or Cameron Road to continue their journeys.
Likewise, motorists heading towards Osborne Road from Alfred Rewane Road should use Glover Road, Lugard Avenue, or Cameron Road to connect Oba Adeyemi Oyekan Avenue before continuing their journeys. The road will be fully reopened to traffic on Monday, 18th August, 2025.
