Tankers and trucks are back on the famous Eko Bridge in Lagos and commuters who ply that route have been suffering and enduring several hours in traffic lately. Last night, several Lagosians spent hours stuck in traffic on the bridge till past midnight and now they are crying out to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for help.Stuck in traffic for over an hour on Eko bridge it was two hours last I can’t live like this pic.twitter.com/lM3eIpwCAS— Black Orpheus (@BabajideDosumu) December 19, 2019Am I the only one in this Eko bridge traffic?Google map this on you…— TundeGirl (@Ms_Orlatuneday) December 19, 2019@jidesanwoolu see your Eko bridge at 6 minutes past midnight…Been in traffic for the last 4 hours pic.twitter.com/ORoGA8N0GV— Osaro Jackson (@osaro_lucky) December 19, 2019This traffic from CMS inws Apongbon to Eko bridge to Costain has been constant since Tuesday, and there’s nothing serious causing this, just too much vehicles.This is it, I think @followlasg needs to come up with a Policy that limits companies having car parks, especially..— Captain Kunle Shobo (@ROS1609) December 19, 2019Google map! I wont forgive you ooo, I was on my way to Eko bridge, you decided to route me through Carter bridge to save 5mins, now I have spent 3hrs on carter bridge…woo, if I catch you— Ajose Oluwasegun (@talktoseg) December 19, 2019Dear Mr Governor @jidesanwooluIt’s so sad for one to spend 4hrs 30mins in traffic on a journey that is less than 30mins. The trucks on eko bridge and costain are causing pain to lagosians. I have faith in this governor pls don’t disappoint me .— samuel onabanjo (@onabanjosamuel) December 19, 2019If e sure for that pointing guy let him come and catch one way drivers on Eko bridge right now.— Tosin. (@tosinakande__) December 19, 2019So @googlemaps told me IJORA to Eko bridge would be faster than staying on Eko bridge, the link road was full of trailers and had bad spots, nobody was moving https://t.co/dpdR2w59yW— Nightflyer (@amaezeaviator) December 19, 2019Eko bridge traffic today was soul sucking. Everybody in my bus had their boyfriends and wives calling even my mom had her husband calling. Thank God I had her because wow. This singleness really hit today.— Singlet (@nun_vya) December 13, 2019Dear sir, @jidesanwooluAre you going to continue looking at us that cannot afford private jets to the top of our roofs,on this issue of tankers on Eko bridge/FunshoWilliams Avenue? It’s past 12am & Costain is ‘stand-still’.No one deserves this unhealthy lifestyle. Help us sir— Yeye Onijogbon I of Africa (@twineebee7) December 19, 2019Eko bridge inwards Lagos island is blocked.
