Nigerian Govt shuts Eko Bridge, ramps for 8-week repairs
The Federal Government has shut down the Eko Bridge and Ramps for eight weeks for essential asphalt resurfacing.
The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, made this known in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
Kesha said the Federal Ministry of Works plans essential asphalt resurfacing work on Eko Bridge and Ramps for eight weeks effective from Friday, September 20, by 7.00 a.m, through November 20.
According to her, due to the closure, there will be detours and alternate routes for drivers.
Providing information on how to navigate the area during the closure, she said motorists going to the Island from Funsho Williams Avenue, should use the service lane at Alaka to connect Costain and access Eko Bridge.
“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 added.
