Following the notification received from the Federal Ministry of Works on the ongoing emergency repair works along Marine Bridge, the Lagos State Government has released a traffic diversion plan for the Apapa outbound lane of the Bridge from Saturday, 20th August to 20th December, 2022.

 

A statement signed by the Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, said traffic outbound Apapa will be diverted to the inbound lane to give way for a contraflow as the Apapa outbound lane will be closed for repairs.
