The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday assured Lagos residents of speedy completion of the rehabilitation of Eko Bridge.
Fashola said this during the inspection of the work on the bridge, which he said was targeted at ensuring the safety of residents and road users.
The minister explained that the alignments between expansion joints on some sections of the bridge shifted from the normal five millimeters and expanded to a width of 23 mm, hence the need to quickly repair the portions to prevent collapse.
The section of the bridge was closed from the 4th of June this year and would remain so for repairs for nine weeks.
