The Lagos State Government has announced ten weeks partial
closure of Eko Bridge from Costain to Alaka inbound National Stadium for
emergency repairs by the Federal Government from June 4 to August 13.
The State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic
Oladeinde, said in a statement that the repair was necessary to complete the
rehabilitation works at the opposite side of the bridge earlier embarked upon
by the Federal Government, hence the need for a notice of route diversion.
He said that pending the commencement of the rehabilitation
works, alternative routes have been made available for the awareness of
motorists, to manage traffic during the period of repairs.
”Traffic from Apongbon to Alaka, Stadium, Inner Surulere or Ikorodu Road will be diverted to Eko Bridge to access Costain Roundabout to Iponri through Alaka and Funso Williams Avenue.
”Similarly, motorists from Eko bridge will have to navigate
their desired destinations through Costain Roundabout to Abebe Village( by
Nigerian Breweries Plc) through Eric Moore to Bode Thomas to Adeniran
Ogunsanya, to access Shitta Roundabout by Stadium under bridge to Funso
Williams Avenue to Dorman-Long Bridge and Fadeyi-Ikorodu Road.
“Motorists can gain access to Apongbon through CMS Outer
Marina Road to connect Ebute Metta Ikorodu Road to access their destinations.
”Motorists from Apongbon can pass through CMS to Outer
Marina to Adeniji Adele, Third Mainland Bridge, Adekunle to Herbert Macaulay
Way, Jibowu and Ikorodu road will also be available,” Oladeinde said.
He appealed to residents of the state, especially motorists
that ply these corridors, to take note of the diversion routes.
The commissioner further urged motorists to bear the
inconveniences, as the project was aimed at achieving a seamless, safe and
efficient transport system that would meet the transportation needs of a larger
population.
He, however, advised road users to comply with directives
from the State’s Traffic Management Personnel.
“In like manner, traffic directions and road signals would
be made available to minimize inconveniences that may be experienced while the
construction work lasts,” he said.
