FG shuts Eko Bridge again for 40-day repair

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. 

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