The Federal Ministry of Works has announced the planned closure of the Independence Bridge (Marina bound) commencing on Tuesday, April 1st 2025.
A statement by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, notes that the closure is necessary to facilitate essential maintenance and rehabilitation works on the bridge.
It states that the closure will affect traffic from the Ahmadu Bello Way and Adeola Odeku towards Marina, EKO Bridge and Onikan by Nigeria Police Command Zone 2.
The Independence Bridge will remain closed until the end of May 2025 for repairs.
Motorists are therefore advised to plan their journeys accordingly and seek alternative routes.
The Federal Ministry of Works apologizes for any inconvenience this closure may cause and appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation towards the safety and stability of the road infrastructure.
