To accommodate the repairs, alternative routes have been outlined. Motorists traveling from the Alapere/Ogudu axis of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway bound for Lagos Island will be redirected towards Gbagada-Oshodi Expressway. From there, they will connect to Ikorodu Road/Funsho Williams Avenue to access Eko Bridge and reach Lagos Island.

Similarly, drivers headed from Lagos Mainland through Herbert Macaulay Road (Adekunle axis) towards Lagos Island via Third Mainland Bridge will be rerouted towards Murtala Muhammed Way. They will then use Carter Bridge to reach Lagos Island.
