LAGOS GOVT ORDERS IMMEDIATE CLOSURE OF OSHODI PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
The Lagos State government, on Friday, ordered the closure of the pedestrian bridge located between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 in Oshodi Bus Terminal due to concerns regarding the safety and structural integrity of the bridge.
The order also mandated the contractor responsible for the initial construction of the terminal, through the Office of Infrastructure, to place concrete barriers at the entrances leading to the bridge to safeguard the lives of pedestrians who use the infrastructure.
Additionally, the contractor is to conduct a comprehensive structural integrity assessment of the bridge for repairs or reconstruction works.
Pedestrians are advised to use an alternative bridge located 30 meters away, pending the outcome of the structural integrity assessment report.
