The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Olukayode Popoola has announced the partial closure of Falomo Bridge in Victoria Island for six weeks.

Part of the statement read: “The Federal Government will be embarking on rehabilitation of Falomo Bridge for a period of six weeks as from Sunday 14th March 2021.

“This will require partial closure of one lane at a time.

“The motoring users are advised to cooperate with the traffic law enforcement agents, while the government tries its best to minimise the inconveniences the closure may cause.”
