Carter bridge, Lagos islaand
The repair work that commenced on 16th September 2024, on the popular Eko bridge has been identified that the ongoing repair is being executed by the Federal Ministry of Works Abuja.
Ipso facto, the Lagos State Government announced that traffic diversion had since begun from Eko Bridge, and will end by 10th November 2024, totaling 8 weeks.
According to a media statement from the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, 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.
Motorists are advised 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 Costain and access Eko Bridge to continue their journeys.
Alternatively, Motorists heading to the Island can access Costain to connect Eko Bridge to link Apongbon for their destinations.
Motorists can also connect Apongbon inwards Eko Bridge to link Costain to access Funsho Williams Avenue.
Motorists can also drive through 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 Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, assures that Lagos State Traffic Management Authority officers will be deployed to the rehabilitation areas and alternative routes to minimize travel delays and inconvenience.
