The Federal Ministry of Works has announced that repair work on the damaged Expansion Joints on the Long Bridge of the Lagos-Sagamu Motorway would begin at 7 a.m. on Monday, March 4, 2024, on both sides of the Bridge.
The ministry stated that the repairs will take three weeks and will be completed by March 25, 2024.
“Consequently, traffic leaving and entering Lagos through the Long Bridge will be narrowed to two lanes on both sides of the Bridge to enable the contractor handling the repair works to commence works on the other two lanes of the carriageways,” said the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Engr O. I. Kesha.
“Thus, all road users are advised to be patient and adhere to lane discipline on both approaches to the Long Bridge and around the narrowed sections on the Bridge.
“The earth road beside the Shagamu bound carriageway will be made motorable, to serve as a complimentary road. Other road users are advised to use alternative routes.”
She asked motorists to comply with traffic control personnel assigned to manage traffic and maintain smooth movements to reduce discomfort during the repair operation.
