Fire on Wednesday gutted shops under the Apongbon section of the Eko Bridge in Lagos State.
Following this, Motorists have been urged to ply alternative route as the fire incident has caused gridlock and crippled commercial activities around the Lagos Island area of the state.
As at the time of filing this report, the cause of the fire incident could not be ascertained.
“Traffic from Eko bridge has been re-routed to Ebute-Ero to link inner marina. Men of fire service and other security agencies are still on the ground. Therefore, CMS bridge and Eko bridge inward/outward Apongbon is close to traffic at the moment,” Lagos State Traffic Management Agency tweeted.
