The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olukayode Popoola, yesterday, advised the public to stay off the Airport Road flyover in Lagos, which was burnt by fire, pending the determination of its structural safety.
The bridge, which runs over Toyota Bus Stop on the Apapa-Oshodi-Ojota-Oworosoki Expressway, was engulfed by fire when a petrol tanker laden with diesel burst into flames on Thursday.
Popoola, who led federal and Lagos State governments officials, yesterday, on a joint inspection to ascertain the extent of damage to the bridge and adjoining roads, raised concerns over the safety of the bridge, saying its structural integrity had yet to be ascertained.
