The Lagos State Government will shut Gaskiya Level Crossing in the Apapa area from 3a.m. on Saturday, January 9, to 5a.m., Monday, January 11, for a railway project.
The closure is for the ongoing construction of the Nigerian Railway Modernisation Project (Lagos-Ibadan section) with an extension to Lagos Port at Apapa.
A statement by the state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Fredric Oladeinde, on Friday, explained that the construction company would commence track laying on the level crossing on the Apapa end of the railway.
Oladeinde urged motorists coming from Gaskiya Road to connect Ijora 7-Up, navigate their way through Sari-Iganmu Road inwards Orile Iganmu to link Iganmu Bridge and continue their journey towards Ijora 7-Up, Apapa.
