Friday, May 16, 2025 - The Lagos State Government has issued a traffic advisory ahead of scheduled maintenance works on Marine Bridge, set to be undertaken by the Federal Ministry of Works. The advisory was made public through a press statement signed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Friday morning.
According to the announcement, the partial closure of the
bridge is essential to facilitate repairs on the bridge’s underlying bearings,
overseen by the Office of the Federal Controller, Lagos. The maintenance
project is slated to begin on Sunday, May 18, 2025, and will conclude on
Sunday, June 8, 2025. To reduce traffic disruptions, the work will be executed
in two phases.
The first phase, from May 18 to June 1, will target the foot
of the Marine Bridge along Lawani Oguntayo Road inbound Apapa and Costain.
During this time, motorists traveling from Ijora Oloopa to Apapa are advised to
take the Ijora Causeway access ramp near Omni Retail Company to continue their
journey.
The second phase, running from June 2 to June 8, will cover
Ijora Badia and the Lilypond Access Ramp inbound Apapa. For the duration of
this phase, motorists heading to Apapa from Costain will be directed into a
contraflow on the lane normally used for travel inbound to Costain. Those
traveling from Ijora Olopa to Apapa will also be rerouted via the Ijora
Causeway access ramp by Omni Retail Company into Lilypond Access Road.
The commissioner confirmed that the Marine Bridge will fully
reopen to traffic on Monday, June 9, 2025. He assured the public that the Lagos
State Traffic Management Authority will monitor and guide vehicular movement
along the corridor to minimize inconveniences.
Motorists are urged to remain patient and comply with the
traffic management plan during the maintenance period to ensure safe and
orderly travel.
