The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos State, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, has announced 40 days closure of the Island-bound lane of the Alaka-Costain-Iganmu section of Eko Bridge, beginning from Sunday.

Kesha, in a statement on Thursday, in Lagos, said the announcement, made in collaboration with Lagos State Government, was as a result of damage noticed on some of the bridge components needing urgent rehabilitation.

She said the closure is to allow the contractor, Messrs Buildwell Plants and Equipment Industries Ltd., carry out the necessary repairs with the aim of restoring the integrity of the bridge during the stipulated time frame.
