FG Shuts Kara Bridge On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

 

 

The Federal Ministry of Works has instructed that Kara Bridge on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway should be shut for integrity tests. This comes after a tanker exploded on the bridge on Sunday, June 21.

A letter addressed to the Lagos State Government and signed by the Deputy Director, Highways, Federal Ministry of Works, K.Y. Ibrahim, solicited the support of the state for the success of the job.

Ibrahim said the contractor handling that section of the expressway requested that the bridge be shut from Friday to Sunday in order to ascertain the bridge’s “serviceability state after the fire incident”.

“We now request the support of the Lagos State Government in terms of handling the expected high traffic volume that may be generated along the axis during the work and also to help evacuate the wreckage of the accident still on site,” the letter said.
