The Lagos State Government says the repair of the Eko Bridge will commence next Saturday and will last for 71 days.
It, however, added that the planned repairs would have little impact on movement of vehicles on the bridge.
The government said the bridge would not be totally closed during the period of the repairs.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, added that rather, a phased partial closure at each expansion joint location, would be done.
Opeifa said, “The Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure in continuation of the Bridge Expansion Joint Replacement exercise which has touched many bridges in the state, will commence work on Eko Bridge in Surulere and the Lagos Island Local Government Area for a period of 71 days beginning from Saturday, August 23, 2014 to Monday, October 27, 2014.
“As part of the traffic management strategies during the exercise, there shall be successive partial closure of Eko Bridge carriageway at each expansion joint location.”
The commissioner urged motorists and other road users, who might be in a hurry, to use alternative routes to avoid delays.
“The state government appeals for caution and cooperation from all road users by obeying all traffic regulations and ensure traffic flow during the maintenance period.
“The state government, while regretting any inconvenience, has directed all relevant agencies to ensure free flow of traffic,” Opeifa said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
