The Lagos State Government announces a temporary closure of the Iddo Bridge in Ijora, Apapa Local Government Area, to support ongoing rehabilitation and construction work. Multiple outlets report that the closure follows work connected to the installation of heavy steel bridge beams under the rehabilitation and reconstruction programme. Lagos transportation officials say the measure is intended to ensure safety during the installation. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes and comply with traffic management directives during the closure period.
One report specifies that the bridge closure is scheduled for specific overnight and daytime windows, rather than permanently. During these times, the full section of the bridge is closed to vehicular movement.
Across the coverage, the stated focus remains on facilitating construction activities and reducing disruption through diversion plans. The government urges commuters to be patient and to plan journeys in advance, using the proposed detours around the affected corridor.
