The Ministry of Works has announced the commencement of repair of damaged expansion joints of the Long Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
This was confirmed in a statement signed by the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Keisha on Friday.
According to Keisha, the repair would commence from 7am on Monday, March 4 to March 25, 2024.
Kesha said commuters 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.
The statement read, “The Federal Ministry of Works wishes to inform the motoring public that repair works for the damaged expansion joints on the Long Bridge will commence by Monday, 4th March 2024 simultaneously on both bounds of the bridge.
“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.
“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.”
