But in order to lessen the discomfort being felt on the bridge, she added, “the Ministry would be carrying out palliative works on the most critically failed sections along the Adeniji bound carriageway on Sunday, Oct. 22 in preparation for the comprehensive repair works.”
In order to ensure smooth traffic flow, she asked drivers to cooperate with the traffic control officers by following all directions and obeying any diversions.
The Adeniji end of the bridge, however, will be closed to traffic from Saturday, Oct. 21 to Sunday, 22nd 12.00 midnight, she said. “Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes where possible during the period of the palliative works.”
