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.

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.
