FG Proposes Closure of Eko Bridge Carriageway over Damaged Piles
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos says one carriageway on the Eko Bridge may be shut after inspectors found eight piles badly damaged. The move now awaits approval from the Minister of Works. Officials blame miners and scavengers for stripping concrete cover and exposing reinforcement on the affected piles. The Minister will visit Lagos soon to assess the bridge and decide on the recommendation. In related news, Carter Bridge has exceeded its service life and will be demolished and rebuilt. A contractor has been selected for that project, and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is 98% complete between Ahmadu Bello Way and Eleko.
