The work will involve laying new asphalt, repainting lane markings, adding missing lines, and installing solar lights.
She added that the project aims to improve not only the bridge’s structural integrity but also its overall appearance.
The Controller stressed that motorists are major stakeholders, and as such, the government will ensure that the project does not cause any inconvenience to them.
She said:
“President Bola Tinubu has graciously asked us to continue the resurfacing from where we stopped on the Third Mainland bridge. So we’re continuing any moment from now.
“So any moment from now we are going to see the contractor back on site extending beyond Adeniji inward Falomo. We’re going to do the same thing just like we did on the Third Mainland Bridge.
“We know that motorists are major stakeholders. So we do not want to do this without getting across to them. That’s why we’re doing this press conference so that it will not come as a surprise to us.“
