The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos State, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, has announced 40 days closure of the Island-bound lane of the Alaka-Costain-Iganmu section of Eko Bridge, beginning from Sunday.
Kesha, in a statement on Thursday in Lagos, said the announcement, made in collaboration with Lagos State Government, was as a result of damage noticed on some of the bridge components needing urgent rehabilitation.
She said that delay might compromise the integrity and structural stability of the entire bridge to endanger users.
She recalled that she, alongside Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during the opening of the Apongbon section of the bridge, announced that intermittent closures would be carried out as the maintenance work progressed.
