The Nigerian Federal Government has shut down the Eko Bridge and Ramps for a duration of eight weeks for necessary asphalt resurfacing.
Mrs Olukorede Kesha, the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, had made this known via a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
According to Kesha, the Federal Ministry of Works had planned essential asphalt resurfacing work on Eko Bridge and Ramps for eight weeks, to be effective as from Friday, September 20, by 7.00 a.m, through November 20.
Kesha had also said that due to the closure, there would be detours and alternate routes for drivers and motorists going to the Island from Funsho Williams Avenue, should use the service lane at Alaka to connect Costain and access Eko Bridge.
What They’re Saying
“The closure will be full at some sections of the bridge and partial at other sections.
“This critical project aims to improve road safety and enhance the driving experience of motorists.
“The work involves milling of the existing asphalt and relaying new asphalt on the bridge and Ramps. This will address wear and tear and ensure a smoother, safer roadway,” she concluded.
