Sad thing is no better alternative. Their traffic management plan will be crappy at best.

Alaka end of Eko bridge had been closed since March. Costain bridge too is still under construction since last year October.

This country and its leaders are just too useless.

if that bridge was a man by now e for don dey go checkup by itself

how many times ehn!!!

Why? I don't trust these ferries but I'll try them

To leave naija be like..

How many times them wan do this bridge gan gan where is 4th mainland bridge and apapa railway

This is punishment for lagosian una go get sense by force

PeachtreeReside:
Let me move to my village.

Minus one, who guess?

They should just say they want do another lockdown so we won't need to kuku go out because this is way too much naw... That's one of the busiest route in the morning and evening. Now ikorodu road would be jam packed now

SLAP44:
For 6 whole months?

Where will all the northerners living in Lagos be passing from?

Na only northerners you dey see for lagos bridge? Lol

yourgistpartner:
government is just making every move to frustrate the average Nigerian but God pass them

Don't just comment because you have internet access. Read the part about worn out joints?
If disaster happens now as a result of that you will still be first to criticize.
If i may ask what alternative solution would you honestly suggest?

Typical non sensitive idea by people who are opportune to be in a sensitive position. Another way to let ordinary people suffer, whereas corruption would be the order of the day. Lagosian and visitors from all over the world that would be visiting Lagos Island would feel the pain after spending countless hour on the road to get to the Lagos island and environs. All what the people in charge need to convince whoever that they are actually working. Phantom repair!!! i must say.

So they should leave the worn out joints like that abi?
Everything una must complain.

Start the construction of the Fouth Mainland Bridge now. That is the only viable alternative.

Truetalk3139:
I never knew there is an alternative route o from mainland to the island

There.is. ikorodu road via apongbon bridge.

Reference:
Unending repairs akin to Nigeria's refineries. But where is the Fourth Mainland bridge touted for the last 25 years. That is why all great cities have multiple modes of moving people around. The Federal Goverment had better raise cash to aid the completion of one or two metro routes.

government is broke

PeachtreeReside:
Let me move to my village.

Better

The alternate routes are currently unusable!

Why didn’t they shut it down during the lockdown ?

The most stupid and foolish government i have ever witnessed....u are not building any alternate new route even the suggested route is bad and u want to maintain the dual carriageway at a time where hardship is the order of the day...All of them looking for ways to steal money...since they started ojota till now see people using that ikorodu express way finding it difficult to run their daily activities because of construction every junction on that road...
Later they claim they schooled havard.

It's long overdue

Im afraid for carter bridge.

texazzpete:
Why didn’t they shut it down during the lockdown ?

Because you will have time to monitor the quality of the work done and check mate stealling....
They know if they run the level most of us na daily hustle we no get time reason their matter then they can steal...black man black heart

Ban Okada.
Ban keke.
Close 3rd mainland bridge for six months.
No alternative route.
Lagos is bring governed by drug addicts.

6 months too long nau.. Haba..

this is not the first time repairs is being carried out on the road. For crying out loud, 6 months would be catastrophic. there has been a way it is being done before now let them revisit that strategy.

you cannot close third mainland when there is no fourth mainland to absorb the heavy vehicular activities, it will cause more pain and hardship

Just go ready 5k for transport to n fro everyday oo.

Realresk:
Is the damage that bad ni? Six whole months?? Haba!!

Nigerians are wandering how many years have they been coming for repairs now and then!
Governor Sanwo-Olu,when will you Start the ground breaking 4th-Mainland Bridge that Lagosians may have Peace?

APC next level.
Una neva see anything.
If this people were wise they would have started their so called maintenance when there was total lockdown.

It's only in Nigeria you can close a commercial and essential road for six months all in the name of maintenance. What happens if the contractor is ordered to deliver the project in 6 weeks while they work morning and night to achieve its purpose, it's not a road or bridge that should be closed for even one week not, talk more about 6months.

See the Costain bridge that's locked down, some days no work is done on that axises, this project should be tag an emergency one, I am an Engineer so I wonder what's the big deal about expertise and equipment. The government is trying but they should also consider time and usage.

They should establish 24 hour ferry system.

It will make sense if Lagos state govt can expand its water travel system during this Six. Simply park your car at Iyana-oworo and take a speed or ferry to VI, Lekki, Marina or Ajah.

When you close from work, take to same means back , pick your car were you left it and go home.

It's that simply.

Another alternative route is by river .Thought lagos state government have already provided boats months back.

Where will all the northerners living in Lagos be passing from?

Naa only northerners dey use the bridge nii?

Anyway, one of the reasons I wanted to relocated away from Lagos. Lagos & her traffic wahala is killing. And one is not only liable to die young with smoking, but I'm sure one is liable to die even younger with Lagos traffic.
