The Lagos State Government said yesterday it would divert traffic flow along the National theatre/Marina axis of the road from Monday, August 9 for a duration of about 221 days (7months, 1 week).

He explained that the Ministry will address the impact of the construction work on traffic and subsequently eliminate traffic related issues.
