Lagos: The Lagos State Government has released a diversion plan ahead of the 110-day repair of the Ogudu/Ifako Bridge.
The state Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.
Osiyemi said that the earlier postponed repair would begin on June 28 and end on Oct. 15.
The commissioner said the repair was expected to be carried out in eight phases on both lanes.
“The first to fourth phases, covering the stretch of Ogudu/Ifako Bridge inbound Alapere, will commence on Saturday, June 28 and end on Saturday, Aug. 16 (50 days).
“Phases five to eight, covering the stretch of Ogudu/Ifako inbound Oworoshoki, will be fixed between Saturday, Aug. 16 and Sunday, Oct. 5 (51 days),” he said.
He advised motorists to use alternative routes during the partial closure of the bridge.
“Alternative routes for phase one: Motorists from Iyana Oworo will go through Gbagada to connect Anthony to access Ikorodu Road, after which they will have free movement to their desired destinations.
“One lane will be used near the work area (50m before and after).
“For alternative routes for phase 2, motorists from Eko Bridge will go through Funsho Williams Avenue to connect Ikorodu Road,” he said.
Osiyemi assured that officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority would be on the ground to minimise inconveniences and manage traffic on the routes.
“Motorists are implored to be patient during the partial bridge closure (50m before and after the repair site).
