The Lagos State government will redirect traffic on Marine Bridge from May 18 to June 8 for urgent federal maintenance. Alternative routes have been outlined to ease congestion during the two-phase repair period.
- Marine Bridge will undergo phased repairs between May 18 and June 8, 2025.
- Phase 1 affects Lawani Oguntayo Road; Phase 2 impacts Ijora Badia and Lilypond Ramp.
- LASTMA will manage traffic as motorists are diverted via Ijora Causeway and contraflow lanes.
For many daily commuters, this diversion may mean longer travel times and route adjustments. Commercial drivers, especially those heading to Apapa ports, are likely to feel the brunt. Yet, most acknowledge that long-term infrastructure safety outweighs short-term delays.
As Lagos balances infrastructure upgrades with traffic management, can timely communication and traffic control reduce commuter frustration during these essential repairs?
