FG to close Independence Bridge in Lagos for repairs on April 1
The federal government has announced the closure of the Independence Bridge (Marina-bound) starting April 1 for essential maintenance and rehabilitation work.
The federal controller of works in Lagos, Olukorede Kesha, made this known in a statement on Monday in Lagos.
She explained that the bridge would remain closed until the end of May 2025.
Ms Kesha said the closure would affect traffic from Ahmadu Bello Way and Adeola Odeku towards Marina, Eko Bridge, and Onikan by Zone 2.
She advised motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and use alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion during the repair period.
Ms Kesha apologised for any inconvenience the closure might cause. She thanked the public for their understanding and cooperation as the government worked to ensure the safety and stability of the road infrastructure.
