The Lagos State Government has announced the emergency closure of the outbound section of Eko Bridge leading to Lagos Island from May 12 for safety investigations and repair works.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, advised motorists to use alternative routes during the closure.
According to him, the affected section is the stretch between Apongbon and Ijora Olopa.
He said motorists heading to Lagos Island should divert through the Third Mainland Bridge, while the inward Lagos Island carriageway would remain open to traffic.
Osiyemi added that traffic and security personnel would be deployed on Eko Bridge along alternative routes to ensure smooth vehicular movement and maintain order throughout the closure period
