FG is to commence the Lagos-Sagamu long bridge repairs on Monday.
Glamtush reports that the Federal Ministry of Works says repair works on the damaged Expansion Joints on the Long Bridge of the Lagos-Sagamu Expressway will commence by 7am on Monday, March 4, simultaneously on both bounds of the Bridge.
This online news platform learnt that in a statement on Friday, the ministry said the repair works will take three weeks, and end by March 25.
“Consequently, traffic leaving and entering Lagos through the Long Bridge will be narrowed to two lanes on both sides of the Bridge to enable the contractor handling the repair works to commence works on the other two lanes of the carriageways,” said the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Engr O. I. Kesha.
“Thus, all road users are advised to be patient and adhere to lane discipline on both approaches to the Long Bridge and around the narrowed sections on the Bridge.
“The earth road beside the Shagamu bound carriageway will be made motorable, to serve as a complimentary road. Other road users are advised to use alternative routes.”
She advised motorists to cooperate with traffic management officials deployed to manage traffic and ensure hitch-free movements to minimise discomfort during the duration of the repair works.
