An additional alternative exists via Ikorodu Road inbound Funsho Williams Avenue, affording direct ingress to Eko Bridge en route to Lagos Island.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GM advised motorists coming from Ikeja and adjoining areas to traverse through Maryland, connect with Ikorodu Road\/Funsho Williams Avenue, and proceed via Eko Bridge to Outer Marina and adjoining corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlternatively, they may link Ikorodu Road inbound Anthony (by Taxi Park) to Oshodi and pursue their onward destinations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oki emphasised that LASTMA officers had been strategically deployed across the affected corridors to ensure vehicular fluidity, enforce lane discipline, and guarantee swift operational response to emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMotorists are profoundly enjoined to exercise patience, prudence, and civic obligation, as the partial closure of the bridge represents a vital component of the state\u2019s overarching traffic management architecture designed to deliver enduring infrastructural dividends for the collective well-being of Lagosians,\u201d he added. <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/lasg-diverts-traffic-for-ogudu-ifako-bridge-repair\/#google_vignette\">(Punch)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State Government has announced the commencement of the second phase of the rehabilitation works on the Ogudu\u2013Ifako Bridge in the Kosofe Local Government Area, following the completion of the first phase.
