Lagos State Government shuts down marine bridge for three months
The Lagos State government has declared that the Marine Bridge will be shut down for three months for emergency repairs.
In a tweet, the State's Commissioner of Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, stated that the bridge closure would begin on March 9 and continue until June 21.
Oladeinde clarified that the bridge had to be shut down in order to protect the infrastructure. Alternative routes would be laid out to enable traffic to pass freely during the partial closure, he said.
“Motorists in Apapa are advised to make use of Total underneath the bridge to connect Naval Dockyard to Danlami to Leventis corridor and also to use Marine Beach by Mobil through Federal Fire Service to Wharf Road.
“Motorists from Ajegunle in Iganmu or Ijora should use Agbo Malu to Tego Barracks to Total underneath the bridge and ascend Marine Bridge to their desired destinations,” the statement said.
Oladeinde said that officials of the Traffic Management Personnel (LASTMA) would be deployed to manage traffic burdens at the alternative routes.
He urged residents of the state to be patient with the ongoing constructions, adding that efforts were being made to provide quality and safe roads for all.
