There is a heavy traffic on both lanes of the popular Eko Bridge inward Costain in Lagos.

The traffic build up was caused by an electric pole which fell when a commercial bus driver crashed into it early this morning. Commuters are advised to make use of alternative routes.

Citizens are falling on the Lagos state government and its environmental agencies to act swiftly to ease the traffic gridlock and reduce possible loses that might be caused by the traffic.
