The Federal Government has reopened the Independence Bridge (Ahmadu Bello Way-Marina bound) to vehicular traffic.
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, announced this in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mrs. Olukorede Kesha.
The government had announced the closure of the bridge starting from April 1 for essential maintenance and rehabilitation works.
It was to remain closed till May.
However, Umahi said in the statement that necessary repair works on the bridge would be carried out later.
He said the palliative works were underway to ensure that the bridge would be motorable.
The minister regretted the inconvenience caused by the closure and appealed for understanding and cooperation.
