Lagos State Government in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, has announced a temporary closure of the Alaka/Costain – Iganmu section of the Eko Bridge for a period of 40 days.
The closure, it was learnt, would commence on Sunday, 23rd July, 2023.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, Engr. Abdulahfiz Toriola.
He said the closure was as 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 added 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, Engr. Toriola implored road users to cooperate with the Traffic-Management Personnel deployed to the area to guide them appropriately while plying the axis.
