The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State confirms total overlay of asphalt on a bridge section. The completed phase signals progress in the comprehensive repair work. 

The Oworonshoki-bound carriageway will be closed for six weeks. Once completed, the bridge won’t need repairs for five years. 

The project includes replacing railings and installing solar-powered lights and CCTV cameras for enhanced security. 

Repair work started on November 1 and is expected to last three months.
