The Lagos State Government has unveiled a traffic diversion plan to ease movement during the temporary closure of Iddo Bridge in the Ijora area of Apapa Local Government, as rehabilitation works continue on the facility.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, signed by Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the government explained that the Federal Ministry of Works will install heavy steel beams as part of the ongoing reconstruction of the bridge.
The operation will require full closure of the bridge at specific times to ensure safety. The closure is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., and Sunday, June 21, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
“The entire section of Iddo Bridge will be temporarily closed to vehicular movement during the periods stated above to ensure the safe installation of the steel beams,” the statement read.
