FG re-opens Independence Bridge in Lagos

The Federal Government has announced the immediate re-opening of the Independence Bridge (Ahmadu Bello Way-Marina bound) to vehicular traffic.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, announced this in a statement issued by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Olukorede Kesha, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

The government had announced the closure of the bridge starting from April 1 for essential maintenance and rehabilitation works.

It was to remain closed until May.

The minister stated that palliative works were underway to ensure that the  bridge would be motorable.

He regretted the inconvenience caused to the motoring public by the closure, and appealed for understanding and cooperation.
