The Lagos State Government has announced the diversion of traffic between Costain and Alaka descent due to the need to carry out emergency repairs on some parts of the Eko Bridge.

According to him, the section of the Bridge will be closed to traffic from 8 a.m on Saturday, 4th November and will be reopened to traffic by 4 am on Monday 6th November, 2023, advising motorists plying the area to use the Costain Ramp to link Alaka through the Costain Roundabout during the period.

While assuring that the bridge will be reopened as planned, Osiyemi added that adequate traffic and security personnel will be deployed to the construction zones and the alternative routes, urging motorists to cooperate with traffic officers, exercise patience and observe safety measures.
