Eko Bridge to be opened August
Barely a month after repair works began at the Toyota Bus Stop stretch of the Murtala Mohammed airport link bridge, the contractor, Plycom Nigeria has deserted the site.
The contractor had, late last month (June), put up appearance as if to commence repair work on the link bridge six months after it was closed to traffic due to a fire incident that damaged a part of the bridge.
A tanker conveying 44,000 litres of diesel, crashed with a trailer and discharged its contents leading to an explosion under the bridge.
The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola visited the site with the ministry’s South-West Zone Director, Highways, Mr. Adedamola Kuti. But it took another four months before Plycom Nigeria Limited was mobilised to the site.
