A method and apparatus for supporting a local gateway (L-GW) service in a wireless communication system is provided. When an L-GW is co-located with a master evolved NodeB (MeNB) in dual connectivity, a secondary evolved NodeB (SeNB) in dual connectivity receives a request message including information on a specific E-UTRAN radio access bearer (E-RAB), which is served by a L-GW, from a master evolved NodeB (MeNB) in dual connectivity which has the L-GW, decides to transmit data via a X2 interface instead of a S1-U interface for the specific E-RAB, and transmits a response message to the MeNB.
