The Osun State Government has announced that it would close  the Ola-Iya intersection, Osogbo from today.

This followed the commencement of a flyover at the popular road.

A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Transport,  Olatoke Olaniyan, noted that the closure will begin at 11:00 am today and mark the commencement of the building of the flyover across the intersection.

“This is to bring to the attention of residents and motorists that the Government of the State of Osun will as from tomorrow by 11 am on Thursday, 18th February 2021 close down for nine months the popular Ola-Iya Intersection to pave the way for the immediate construction of a 625 metres flyover, to arrest the incessant and avoidable accidents and traffic gridlock associated with the area.”

“To ensure economic activities are not totally paralyzed and ensure the free flow of vehicular movements within and around Osogbo, diversion routes have been created and road diversion signs installed. Men of the FRSC, NPF, NSCDC & OYES will be assisted by officers from the office of transportation in the ministry of works and transport, and other paramilitary organizations in the 9 months of the construction to guide and direct motorists.

“All corrections and observations noted during the test have been effected and new routes created. Members of the public are enjoined to observe the road signs and cooperate with law enforcement agencies to make the road diversions as seamless and smooth as possible”, Olaniyan added.
