Closed Bridge
Olayiwola Mercy
Lagos State Government has announced plans to repair Apongbon Bridge, starting February 5, 2026, and lasting six weeks until March 19, 2026. The repairs will focus on fixing damaged asphalt sections of the ramp and service lane linking Inner Marina to Apongbon Bridge, as well as parts of the bridge’s inbound and outbound lanes.
To ensure safety and smooth execution of the works, sections of the affected roads will be temporarily closed to traffic. The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, has urged motorists to exercise patience and comply with traffic management measures.
For inbound traffic, motorists from Inner Marina should proceed to the Apongbon under-bridge roundabout, connect to Adeniji Adele Road, and continue through Ebute Ero to access the ramp leading to Apongbon and Eko Bridge. Traffic from TBS, Third Mainland Bridge, and Victoria Island will continue through Apongbon Bridge to Eko Bridge.
Outbound traffic from Eko Bridge to Inner Marina will be diverted through Ebute Ero Ramp, Adeniji Adele Road, and Apongbon under-bridge roundabout. Motorists heading to Outer Marina, Victoria Island, and Third Mainland Bridge will maintain movement on Apongbon Bridge.
The repairs will be carried out in phases, starting with the service lane before moving to the main carriageway. Traffic management personnel will be deployed to guide motorists and minimize inconvenience.
The Lagos State Government has apologized for the inconvenience caused and urged motorists to plan their journeys accordingly.
