The Lagos State Government has announced plans to divert traffic for 18 days, beginning on Saturday, October 23, and ending on November 9, 2021, when the Federal Ministry of Works begins the second phase of emergency repairs on the Eko Bridge (Alaka-Apongbon) section of the state.
Dr Frederic Oladeinde, the State Commissioner for Transportation, announced this on Thursday while issuing a travel caution to motorists and the general public.
The diversion point will be located on the Apongbon bound of the bridge, according to the repair schedule stated in the notification provided by the Federal Minister of Works.
Oladeinde stated that as a result of the development, motorists entering Apongbon from Alaka will be rerouted via the Costain Roundabout to reach their destinations.
To aid vehicles traversing the axis during construction, the commissioner confirmed that traffic guides will be installed along the impacted routes.
