This was contained in a statement by Frederic Oladeinde, the state Commissioner for Transportation, on Friday.
He stated that this follows the approval secured from the Federal Government for repair works on the bridge which will be completed on April 30, 2021.
Oladeinde said that “the repair works will run on a 24-hour shift in phases to enable the contractor complete repairs within the estimated time and minimize the expected inconveniences on the road users”. He said it would cover the Victoria Island-bound lane of the bridge. He added that motorists heading to Victoria Island will be diverted to the Ikoyi bound lanes.
