Lagos Blue Line Rail: LASTMA closes Marina road, suggests alternatives

Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has shut Marina road for the Blue Line Rail Project.

There will be the launching of a beam on outer Marina road after descending from Apongbon Bridge.

The General Manager, Bolaji Oreagba announced the closure in a statement.

Oreagba listed alternative routes motorists can use as construction commences 10 a.m. on Monday.

Road users were advised to plan their journey as only one lane will be available for vehicular movement from Apongbon Bridge. Those moving from Eko Bridge can use Leventis inwards on the outer Marina road.

Drivers can also ply 3rd Mainland Bridge or Oyingbo-Iddo-Carter Bridge to Leventis and connect their destinations.

“While we seek the support and cooperation of all road users, we apologise for any inconveniences this may cause”, the GM appealed.
