After huge traffic jams, FG re-opens Independence Bridge in Lagos
The federal government has announced the immediate re-opening of the Independence Bridge (Ahmadu Bello Way-Marina bound) to vehicular traffic.
The Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, announced this in a statement by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, on Wednesday.
The government had announced the closure of the bridge starting from April 1 for essential maintenance and rehabilitation works.
However, in the statement, Umahi said necessary repair works on the bridge would be carried out later.
He said that palliative works were underway to ensure that the bridge would be motorable.
The heavy traffic jam paralysed business and commercial activities in some parts of Lagos on Wednesday while some workers were forced to sleep in their offices.
