The Federal Government has announced the closure of the Independence Bridge (Marina-bound) in Lagos for essential maintenance and rehabilitation works, starting April 1, 2025.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, made this known in a statement on Monday, confirming that the bridge will remain closed until the end of May 2025.
According to Kesha, the closure will affect traffic flow from Ahmadu Bello Way and Adeola Odeku towards Marina, Eko Bridge, and Onikan by Zone 2.
She advised motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and use alternative routes to minimize traffic congestion during the repair period.
Kesha apologized for any inconvenience the closure might cause and thanked Lagos residents for their patience, emphasizing that the maintenance work is necessary to ensure the safety and stability of the bridge.
Motorists and commuters have been urged to stay informed about traffic management plans to navigate the closure effectively.
