A statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde said traffic will be diverted from one lane to another at the identified section on the Bridge, adding that the rehabilitation was necessary to solve tailbacks along the bridge at peak periods due to the eroded sections.
Oladeinde assured that officers of the Lagos State Traffic
Management Authority (LASTMA) would be stationed to direct traffic in order to ameliorate inconvenience to motorists, imploring vehicle owners to support the State government in its efforts to provide quality and safe road infrastructure.
