I think a Marathon in Lagos is a great idea even though it comes with its challenges for weekend road users of the "owambe stock”. In this light, I want to help put some more detailed info out there to help you plan your movement on Saturday February 6, 2016.
1. If you are coming into Lagos/Island from the Lagos Ibadan toll gate, you will want to divert at Gbagada and take the ramp after Anthony, link with Ikorodu road, and head to Lagos/Island through Western Avenue. Those from the Airport (International and Local) should ensure they hit Ikorodu road and continue on through Western Avenue.
2. If you are coming to Lagos/Island from the Badagry Expressway, you are taking the ramp at Costain or going though the dreaded Apapa, so nothing spoil. Carry go!
3. If you are coming into Lagos/Mainland from the Lekki Expressway, you have two options:
a. For those going to the Mainland via 3MB, you can divert off the Lekki Express Way (LEW) at the 3rd roundabout, meander to the Lekkoyi link bridge and exit right in Ikoyi and head towards Osbourne to link 3MB.
b. For those going to VI/LI/Surulere etc, you can exit the LEW at the 2nd roundabout and follow the alternative route into VI. Since all the party locations are around that half of VI you might not need to cross the Red Sea called Akin Adesola. Else, ask for the anointing of Moses…lol
4. If nothing else works, “hersesize" patience you hear? By 2pm the roads will be open again; hoping the marathon is not afflicted by NTS (Nigerian Time Syndrome). Officially the marathon routes will be closed between 6:30am and 1pm.
5. The map above/below will give you a mental picture of the closed roads.
Happy Partying my precious Lagosians!!!
