Lagos announces 8-week traffic diversion on Eko bridge

The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion plan for emergency repairs on the Eko Bridge by the Federal Ministry of Works. The diversion is set to begin on Monday, September 16, 2024, and will last for 8 weeks. The State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, stated that the repairs will be carried out in four phases, with intermittent full or partial closures of the bridge based on the work schedule.

Alternative routes have been suggested for motorists to alleviate traffic congestion during this period. Motorists can use various routes such as Alaka, Costain, Apongbon, Apapa Road, and others to reach their destinations while the repairs are ongoing.

Lagos State Traffic Management Authority officers will be stationed at the rehabilitation areas and alternative routes to assist in reducing travel delays and inconvenience for commuters.
