Lagos Reveals Traffic Changes For Marine Bridge Fixes

The Lagos State Government has informed the public that there will be a traffic diversion on the Marine Bridge, which connects Ijora and Ajegunle in the Apapa area of the state, as part of the ongoing repair works by the Federal Ministry of Works.

According to a statement issued on Friday by the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the traffic diversion will commence the same day and last until Thursday, December 21, 2023.

The government has provided alternative routes for motorists for the duration of the project and urged motorists to use the Marine Bridge Access Road to Area B and make a U-turn at Point Junction Road towards Marine Bridge to continue their journeys.

“Motorists heading to Mobil Road from Ijora/Apapa Road will be diverted to Ijora to link Total Access Ramp inwards Malu Road to connect Mobil Road to their desired destinations.

“Motorists going to Ijora/Apapa will be diverted to the Apapa-bound ramp of the Marine Bridge to make a U-turn at Point Road Junction inwards Marine Bridge to access their desired destinations,” the statement said.

Osiyemi appealed to motorists for their patience while using the diversion routes and assured that traffic officers from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) would be deployed to manage traffic flow and minimise inconveniences.
