The Lagos State Government had earlier in August, announced a similar traffic diversion plan from Ijora Eastlink Bridge to the National Theatre for the construction of flexible pavements linking Eko Bridge on August 6th and 7th 2022.

Also, the Federal Government had in July 2021, and as part of its infrastructure development and rehabilitation drive, shut the Ijora section of Eko Bridge in order to fix a major expansion joint undergoing rehabilitation.
