This announcement was made by the Commissioner for Transportation in the state, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, in a statement on Friday.
He noted that the partial closure of the bridge would commence on March 9 and last till June 21.
Oladeinde explained that this was necessary to maintain the bridge’s infrastructure which included removal and cleaning of the existing expansion joints to prevent further deterioration.
