The Lagos State Government has announced the closure of the Falomo Bridge for repair works following the Federal Government approval for six weeks from Sunday, 14th March to Friday 30th April, 2021.
In a statement released by the state’s Ministry of Transportation on Friday, the Commissioner, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, stated that the repair works would run on a 24-hour shift in phases to enable the contractor complete repairs within the estimated set time and minimize the expected inconveniences for road users.
He further explained that the first stage of the repairs would cover the Victoria Island bound lane of the bridge which will be closed to traffic. According to him, motorists heading towards Victoria Island will be diverted to the Ikoyi bound lanes to create a counter-flow.
