The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion on the Independence Bridge in Lagos Island as the Federal Ministry of Works begins urgent asphalt repairs on the bridge
The repair works are scheduled to commence on Friday, October 16, 2026, at night and continue throughout Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, 2026.
