The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, who disclosed this in a statement in Lagos, said the bridge would be closed starting April 1 until the end of May 2025.

The federal controller apologized for any inconvenience the closure might cause.
She thanked the public for their understanding and cooperation as the government worked to ensure the safety and stability of road infrastructure.
