Lagos Announce Plan To Shut Eko Bridge For Two Months

The government of Lagos State has declared intentions to close and reroute traffic on Eko Bridge to make way for urgent fixes by the Federal Ministry of Works.

This operation, according to the government, is set to start next Monday, September 16, and is expected to continue for eight weeks.

Specifically, the bridge is anticipated to be fully operational again in the second week of November.

Naija News reports that the State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, made this announcement on Friday, September 13.

He clarified that the repairs will be divided into four stages, during which the bridge will be temporarily fully or partially inaccessible, based on the progress of the work.

Osiyemi urged motorists to use the following alternative routes during the repairs:

Motorists heading to the Island from Funsho Williams Avenue can make use of the service lane at Alaka to connect to Costain and access Eko Bridge to continue their journeys.
Alternatively, motorists heading to the island can access Costain to connect to Eko Bridge and link Apongbon to their destinations.
Motorists can also connect Apongbon inwards Eko Bridge to link Costain to access Funsho Williams Avenue.
Motorists can also make use of Costain inwards Alaka/Funsho Williams Avenue or alternately go through Apapa Road from Costain and link Oyingbo to access Adekunle to link Third Mainland Bridge for their desired destinations.
Similarly, motorists heading to Surulere are advised to use Costain to link Breweries inwards to Abebe Village to connect Eric Moore/Bode Thomas to get to their destinations.

Osiyemi further noted that officials from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), will be sent to the repair zones and other detour paths to reduce travel disruptions and discomfort.
