The Federal Government through the Ministry of Works has announced a plan to commence the repair of damaged expansion joints of the Long Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
According to a statement by the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Olukorede Keisha, the repair would commence from 7 in the morning 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.
To ease the traffic during the repair period, she explained that the earth road beside the Shagamu bound carriageway would be made motorable, to serve as a complimentary road, while advising other road users to use alternative routes.
