Lagos Govt Closes Major Highway For 10-Week Construction
- The Lagos State Government has announced the closure of a major highway for 10-week construction.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Lagos State Government has announced 10 weeks partial closure of Eko Bridge from Costain to Alaka in bound National Stadium for emergency repairs by Federal Government (FG).
The partial closure of the bridge, EKO HOT BLOG gathered, would commence on June 4 to August 13.
This was disclosed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, via a statement on Wednesday.
The commissioner noted that the repair became necessary to complete the rehabilitation works at the opposite side of the bridge which was earlier embarked upon by the FG.
Oladeinde added that alternative routes have been made available for the awareness of motorists, pending the commencement of the rehabilitation works, to manage traffic during the period of repairs.
He said, “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.
The Lagos Commissioner further appealed to residents of the state, especially motorists plying the roads, to take note of the diversion routes.
Oladeinde, therefore, enjoined motorists to bear the inconveniences, noting that the project was aimed at achieving a seamless, safe and efficient transport system that would meet the transportation needs of the Lagos residents.
