The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion plan for emergency repairs on the Independence/Mekwen Bridge (inbound Marina/CMS) from Wednesday, 19th March, to Monday, 26th May 2025.

In a statement made available to the press, 
the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi said the affected routes are, 

Full closure:   National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) through Bonny Camp Bridge to Independence Bridge.

Service lane closure: Bonny Camp Underpass Bridge (inbound Independence Bridge).

Open lane: Service lane from Ahmadu Bello Way to Ozumba Mbadiwe.

Alternative Routes are :

To Victoria Island:   Ozumba Mbadiwe → Akin Adesola → Falomo Roundabout → Obafemi Awolowo Road → Ring Road.

To 3rd Mainland Bridge: Use Ozumba Mbadiwe → Akin Adesola → Alfred Rewane → Osborne → Ring Road.
