 LASG ROLLS OUT DIVERSION PLAN FOR INDEPENDENCE BRIDGE REPAIRS


The Lagos State Government has rolled out a diversion plan ahead of the emergency repairs of the Independence/Mekwen Bridge (inbound Marina/CMS route), scheduled from Wednesday, 19th March, to Monday, 26th May, 2025.


During the repairs, the section of the road from the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) through Bonny Camp Bridge down to Independence Bridge will be closed to vehicular movement. Similarly, the service lane at Bonny Camp Underpass Bridge inbound Independence Bridge will not be available for motorists. However, the service lane from Ahmadu Bello Way to Ozumba Mbadiwe will be open to traffic.


Consequently, the following alternative routes have been mapped out for motorists:


FROM AHMADU BELLO WAY INBOUND VICTORIA ISLAND


Motorists heading to Victoria Island from Ahmadu Bello Way are advised to use Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue inbound Akin Adesola Street, and proceed to Falomo Roundabout, then link Obafemi Awolowo Road to access Ring Road to continue their journeys.


TRAFFIC FROM AHMADU BELLO WAY TO THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE


Motorists from Ahmadu Bello Way heading to Third Mainland Bridge should go through Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue inbound Akin Adesola Street, then link Alfred Rewane Road to Osborne Road, and connect to Ring Road to reach their destinations.


TRAFFIC FROM AHMADU BELLO WAY TO INNER MARINA/CMS


Motorists heading to Inner Marina and CMS from Ahmadu Bello Way will be diverted to Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue inbound Akin Adesola Street to connect Falomo Roundabout, then link Obafemi Awolowo Road to access J.K. Randle Road/King George V Road to reach their desired destinations.


TRAFFIC FROM INNER MARINA/CMS TO AHMADU BELLO WAY


Motorists heading to Ahmadu Bello Way from Inner Marina/CMS will have through-traffic access.


The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, reassured Lagosians that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will manage traffic flow along the aforementioned routes for the duration of the project.


ADVISORY: - Motorists are implored to be patient as the Partial closure is part of the traffic management plans for the rehabilitation works on the asphalt pavement of the road sections by the Federal Ministry of Works (Office of the Federal Controller, Lagos).
