The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, while addressing stakeholders, said the move is to allow Borini Prono; the contractors responsible for the repairs, do the concrete casting of the expansion joints currently undergoing repair works on Oworonshoki-bound section.
Opeifa further explained that the concrete casting and drying process requires zero vibration, hence the diversion of vehicular traffic away from the bridge from Adeniji Adele to Oworonshoki end on Sunday.
He therefore advised motorists, especially those inward Lagos Island and Ikeja, to make use of alternative routes from 6.00 am to 12 midnight.
Opeifa, while commending the perseverance of Lagosians since the start of the repair works on the 11.8 km bridge which started on July 8, appealed to road users to bear with the government as the repair works and diversions would soon be completed.
Motorists coming in from the Island are to follow the diversion at Adeniji Adele Interchange to connect Carter Bridge, link Iddo interchange where they could easily connect Ikeja, Ojota, Ketu, Ikorodu, Agege, Lagos Ibadan expressway, Alimosho, Oshodi, Abule-Egba, among others through Eko Bridge, Herbert Macaulay Road and Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
For those going to Lagos Island there will be a diversion at Oworonshoki to connect Ikorodu Road (via Anthony interchange) to link either Jibowu to Muritala Mohammed Way to Iddo or they can continue to Eko Bridge through Funsho Williams Avenue or Agege Motor Road (via Oshodi Interchange) to link Moshalasi to either Jibowu to Muritala Mohammed Way to Iddo or continue to Eko Bridge through Funsho Williams Avenue or in the alternative use Apapa-Oshodi Expressway through Mile 2 to connect Ijora then Lagos Island.
