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

This is a bridge connecting the island and the mainland. It can be used as an alternative route to avoid congestion on eko bridge when going from Island to the mainland vice versa. There are some trailers packed on the bridge which may sometimes lead to traffic on the bridge. It is one of the oldest bridge 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.
