The Lagos State Government has announced an eight-week traffic diversion on the Eko Bridge to accommodate emergency repairs by the Federal Ministry of Works. The diversion will commence on Monday, September 16, 2024, and will involve phased closures of the bridge, either partial or full, depending on the repair schedule.
The announcement was made by Lagos Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, who also provided alternative routes to reduce congestion. Motorists traveling to and from the island are advised to use alternative routes via Funsho Williams Avenue, Costain, Apongbon, and Third Mainland Bridge, among others.
Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officers will be stationed along these routes to manage traffic flow and minimize delays during the repair period.
