Lagos State Government, in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, has announced a 40-day closure of the Alaka/Costain – Iganmu section of the Eko Bridge (inward Island), commencing on Sunday.
In a statement, the Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Transportation, Engr. Abdulahfiz Toriola said the closure is a result of the damage noticed on some parts of the bridge structures which needed to be urgently rehabilitated to restore the integrity of the bridge.
He further disclosed that the Service Lane of the bridge leading to Iponri would be available for motorists plying the route from Western Avenue and its environs.
While appreciating motorists for their usual cooperation, Toriola advised road users to cooperate with the traffic management personnel deployed to the area to guide them appropriately while plying the axis.
