The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion for emergency repairs of the Eko Bridge by the Federal Ministry of Works.
The diversion is expected to start on Monday, September 16,
2024, and last for 8 weeks.
The announcement was made in a statement by the State
Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Friday.
“The repairs will be carried out in four phases, during
which the bridge will be intermittently fully or partially closed, depending on
the work schedule,” he said.
The commissioner provided alternative routes for motorists
to ease traffic congestion.
“Motorists heading to
the island from Funsho Williams Avenue can make use of the service lane at
Alaka to connect Costain and access Eko Bridge to continue their journeys.
“Alternatively, Motorists heading to the island can access
Costain to connect Eko Bridge to Apongbon for 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.
“In the same vein Motorists heading to Surulere are advised
to use Costain to link Breweries inwards Abebe Village to connect Eric
Moore/Bode Thomas to get to their destinations,” the statement read.
He assured the public that Lagos State Traffic Management
Authority officers will be deployed to the rehabilitation areas and along
alternative routes to help minimise travel delays and inconvenience.
