FG rehabilitates Eko Bridge as LASG releases diversion plan

By ADAKU WALTER

In deference to the notification received from the Federal Ministry of Works on the rehabilitation works on Eko Bridge (Alaka-Apongbon), the Lagos State government has released a diversion plan for six months from March 5, 2022.

According to the repair schedule contained in the notification, the diversion point is on the Apongbon bound lane of the bridge.

Articulated and heavy duty trucks will be barred from using the bridge due to the nature of the repair works. They will, therefore, be diverted to Costain Roundabout to access their desired destinations, while smaller vehicles inbound Apongbon from Alaka could still use the bridge during the repair works.

To further manage traffic in the metropolis, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, affirmed that traffic guides would be mounted along the affected routes to help motorists navigate the axis during the construction, adding that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) would be on ground to coordinate vehicular movements.

While commending Lagosians for their understanding and patience amid the various ongoing road projects in the state, Oladeinde assured that the end result would be beneficial to the residents and the state.
