The Federal Government has given a notice that it will close the Alaka-Costain-Iganmu section of the Eko Bridge (inward Island) for 40 days for repair works.

The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos State, Engr. (Mrs.) O.I. Kesha, in a statement on Thursday, on behalf of the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, indicated that the closure will commence on Sunday, 23rd July 2023.

The Controller explained: “This is as a result of the damage noticed on some of the bridge members which needed to be urgently worked upon.

“It should be noted that any further delay in the repairs and replacement of some of these bridge members could undermine the integrity & structural stability of the entire bridge and the consequence of this can be better imagined.

“It should however be noted that the Lagos State Governor, His Excellency, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Federal Controller Of Works, Engr. (Mrs.) Olukorede Kesha during the opening of the Apongbon section of the Bridge announced that intermittent closures will be carried out as the maintenance work progresses.”
