Catching fun with non-motorised sports
The Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC), in partnership with Cycology Cycling Club, will host the Cycology X Itel Tour de Nigeria Cycling Race on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
The 60km race will start at Dolphin Loop, go through Osborne Road, Ring Road, Third Mainland Bridge, Iyana Oworo, Gbagada Expressway, Oshodi Oke, and MMIA Underbridge (U-turn), before returning to Dolphin Estate as the finishing point.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTES
- Motorists from Ikeja and nearby areas going to Victoria Island will make use of Ikorodu Road to Funsho Williams Avenue to link Eko Bridge and connect Outer Marina to continue their journeys.
- Motorists from Lagos–Ibadan Expressway (Mowe and environs) will pass through Ojota Slip Road to Ikorodu Road to link Funsho Williams Avenue and connect Eko Bridge to continue their journeys.
- Third Mainland Bridge will be open to motorists from Mainland to Island and back from Island to Mainland, with movement managed to allow race flow.
It’s obvious that more signages are needed to indicate routes for non-motorised road users
NOTE: All side roads along the route will be opened intermittently as the race moves forward.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION
i. Some roads, junctions, and intersections along the race route will be partially closed to traffic during the event.
ii. Police and LASTMA Officers will be on duty to guide motorists and ensure safety.
iii. No road will be completely closed. Vehicles will be allowed to pass at intervals as the race progresses.
ADVICE TO MOTORISTS
Motorists are advised to plan their trips early, use alternative routes, and be patient during the race period. The temporary diversions are to ensure a safe and successful cycling event.
@PR: Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi,
Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation.
