The Lagos
State Government has announced the closure of the Marine Bridge Road (Inward
Ijora) preparatory to the commencement of repair works by the contractors of
the Federal Ministry of Works. A statement signed by the Commissioner for
Transport, Dayo Mobereola, states that the emergency and immediate closure is
to also allow the Federal Ministry carryout studies to determine the state of
the Bridge and effect appropriate repairs.
The state
Government has put in place effective traffic management strategies that will
mitigate the impact of the closure. Accordingly, the following routes can be
use by commuters as alternate route. They are:
i. Traffic
coming from Wharf Base/Point Road should divert at service Lane (Marine Beach
Road) by Leventis Junction to Link Lilly Pond by Dockyard and ascend Ijora
Bridge to continue their journey.
ii. Motorists
traveling to Ajegunle should take a left turn at the second junction under the
Apapa Road Bridge to Marine Beach Junction inward Ajegunle or back to Ijora
Bridge and continue their journey.
The statement
says the options are not to be used by heavy duty vehicles. The State
Government implored National Union of Petroleum and Gas Workers (NUPENG) and
its members to observe the reroute especially so as not to block the road when
accessing the Tank Farms at Lilly Pond.
The State
Government among other initiatives deployed various signages directing traffic
appropriately. It is equally important to ask motorist to please obey personnel
of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Federal Road Safety
Corps (FRSC), Nigeria Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies deployed to
control and manage traffic in the area
