Plan your movement: Lagos announces closure of popular bridge in Ijora for 98 days
The Lagos State Government has announced closure of the Ijora 7-up end of the Marine Bridge for 98 days for comprehensive maintenance.
Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, in a statement on Wednesday said the bridge would be closed on 2 February to 10 May, 2024.
Osiyemi said alternative routes had been mapped out for motorists during the course of the repairs to ease their pains.
He said motorists heading towards Apapa from the Bridge are to use Malu road via Mobil road U-turn to link Marine Bridge Access Ramp (Inbound Apapa) and proceed to Point Road U-turn leading into Marine Bridge (Ijora bound) and follow the Diversion at closed section.
Osiyemi added that through this movement, they would be able to join the counter flow lane on the Apapa bound lane back to Ijora bound lane after the closed section.
“Alternately, motorists can utilize Marine Bridge road inwards Malu road to make use of the Mobil road u-turn and proceed to Area B/NAGAFF to access Point road u-turn into Marine Bridge (Ijora bound).
Osiyemi assured that the Traffic Management Personnel would be deployed to the affected routes to minimise inconveniences and improve traffic flow.
