The Lagos State government on Friday announced that a section of the Eko Bridge (from Costain to Alaka descent) would be closed to vehicular movement.
The closure would be from 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 4, and would be reopened to traffic by 4 a.m. on Monday, November 6, 2023.
In a statement, the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the repairs became expedient to avoid the complete vandalisation, theft of the expansion joint, the replacement of missing parts and the recasting of the transition concrete around the expansion joint.
“Accordingly, the bridge will be closed to traffic from 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 4, and will be reopened to traffic by 4 a.m. on Monday, November 6, 2023.
“Motorists planning to use the bridge are consequently advised to use the Costain Ramp to link Alaka through the Costain Roundabout.
“While assuring that the bridge will be reopened as planned, we would like to give assurances that adequate traffic and security personnel will be deployed to the construction zones and the alternative routes; motorists are urged to cooperate with them, exercise patience and observe safety measures.”
