Lagos Government closes Marine Bridge road, provides alternative routes

The Lagos State Government on Friday announced the closure of the Marine Bridge Road (Inward Ijora) in preparatory for the commencement of repair works by Federal Ministry of Works.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, said the emergency and immediate closure was to allow the ministry carry out studies to determine the state of the bridge and effect appropriate repairs.

It noted that while the Federal Ministry of Works had assured of immediate action towards repairing the bridge as it may deem fit, the state government would put in place effective traffic management strategies to mitigate the impact of the closure.


Continuing it said, “Traffic coming from Wharf Base/Point Road should divert at service Lane (Marine Beach Road) by Leventis Junction to Link Lilly Pond by Dockyard and ascend Ijora Bridge to continue their journey.

“Motorists traveling to Ajegunle should take a left turn at the second junction under the Apapa Road Bridge to Marine Beach Junction inward Ajegunle or back to Ijora Bridge and continue their journey”.

The state government, however, said the alternative routes were not to be used by heavy duty vehicles.
