Carter Bridge was first constructed in 1901. It was the only bridge connecting the mainland and Lagos Island. Currently, Carter Bridge is one of the three bridges connecting Lagos Island to the mainland. The others are Third Mainland and Eko bridges. The bridge starts from Iddo on the mainland and ends at Idumota area of Lagos Island. The bridge was named after Sir Gilbert Thomas Carter, a former Governor of the Colony of Lagos. The bridge was expanded, upgraded and commissioned by the British colonial government on July 1958. The construction firm, Borini Prono Nigeria

When trying to leave Island fo mainland Carter Bridge is always an option of beating a bit of Lagos traffic on that route, this however seems to have changed as even when Google map confirmed how free it is, 1min can make a huge difference. Some kind of annoying congestion have come to settle at the top of it. It is still however one of the less busy bridges in Lagos

Segilola Aboaba

Carter bridge is perfect if you wanna link Ikoyi to Adeniji, Apapa, Ijora, Costain, Eric Moore, Oyingbo but be careful at night, hoodlums take advantage of motorists but Lagos State Community watch has made the place kinda safer. The trucks could also make the axis frustrating so best thing is avoid it or link Otto to Oyingbo, Costain or Adekunle, Jibowu if you find yourself in a fix.
