BEVERLY HILLS, May 28, (THEWILL) – The Lagos State Government has announced the partial closure of Eko Bridge from Costain to Alaka in-bound National Stadium for a period of 10 weeks, for emergency repairs by the Federal Government.

The state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, who made this known in a press statement, said the closure would take place from June 4 to August 13.
