The Federal Government appealed for understanding of road users as it planned to partially close the Marine Bridge in Apapa for another round of emergency rehabilitation.
The Acting Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Forosola Oloyede, made the appeal in a telephone interview with newsmen.
Oloyede said the rehabilitation of the bridge being done in phases, was important to safeguard lives and the infrastructure.
She said worn out expansion joints and bearings on the bridge would be replaced while the Corbel would be repaired.
Corbel is the weight carrying portions of a bridge built deeply into the walls to absorb pressure of load on a bridge.
However, she said the last phased rehabilitation was done between January and March and the ministry had repaired alternative routes turning down to Mobil Filling Station and ramping up back to Marine Bridge again.
