The Marine Beach Bridge will be partially closed for five months, effective from Wednesday, May 27th, to Wednesday, October 21st, 2020.

The essence is to aid repair work towards providing a seamless transportation system.

The Honourable Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde said that the planned repairs on the bridge by the Federal Ministry of Works is vital to the safety of the people of Lagos, especially motorists plying the route to access different parts of the State.

He explained that necessary repair works have already been carried out on all alternative routes around the construction site, making them motorable to ease motorists’ movement during the construction period.

Oladeinde stated that motorists inwards Wharf Road will be diverted to the other section of the bridge for vehicles exiting Apapa.

"A contraflow of 200 metres will be put in place for vehicles to realign with a proper direction inwards Ajegunle or Wharf Road, Apapa, in order to ensure that motorists descending to Total Gas underbridge drive without any hindrance," Oladeinde added.
