Lagos Announces 110-day Traffic Diversion On Oworoshoki/Third Mainland Bridge Axis
The Lagos State Government has announced a 110-day traffic diversion plan ahead of emergency repairs on the Oworonshoki/Third Axial Bridge, scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 6, and end on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
According to Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos, Phases 1–4 will affect the Oworonshoki/Third Axial Bridge inbound Third Mainland Bridge, lasting from May 6 to July 14, 2025 (50 days).
Phases 5–8, targeting the outbound section, will run from July 15 to September 23, 2025 (51 days).
Inbound Oworonshoki/Third Mainland Bridge: Motorists heading to Oshodi/Victoria Island via the bridge will be diverted to an alternate lane 50 metres before the work zone and will regain access 50 metres after the zone.
From the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, drivers are advised to: Use Ojota Slip Road to Ikorodu Road, then Anthony and turn into the ramp by the Taxi Park to reach Oshodi.
Alternatively, use Anthony (via Town Planning Way) to link Gbagada and access the Third Mainland Bridge to get to the Island.
He said another option is to connect Funsho Williams Avenue via Ikorodu Road to use Eko Bridge toward Victoria Island.
From Ikeja, motorists should go through Maryland to Ikorodu Road, then use Funsho Williams Avenue and Outer Marina to access the Island.
To reach Oshodi from Ikeja, use Maryland/Ikorodu Road, turn right at the Taxi Park ramp at Anthony.
