The removal of the bridge was completed 24 hours ahead of schedule, thus the State Government has lifted the partial restriction of movement in the Fadeyi end of the road.
The State Government had last week announced partial restriction of movement on Ikorodu Road to enable the replacement of the disused Fadeyi bridge with a new footbridge.
Mr. Olujimi Hotonu, the government thanked Lagosians for their exceptional co-operation which led to the completion of the removal of the disused bridge ahead of schedule.
Hotonu also urged residents to make use of the second pedestrian bridge at Fadeyi whilst the replacement of the dilapidated bridge would last.
He said, “The Lagos State Government wish to announce the complete removal of the dilapidated Fadeyi pedestrian bridge 24 hours ahead of schedule. As a result of this, the Fadeyi end of Ikorodu road has been opened to traffic and would no longer be closed today as earlier announced.
“Due to the exceptional co-operation of Lagosians, it is important to state that the complete removal of pedestrian bridge, carried out between 11pm Saturday night and 6am Sunday morning, was done with minimal disruption to traffic, safely and without any incident.
“We want to encourage Lagosians to use the second pedestrian bridge at Fadeyi whilst Lagos State Government replace the dilapidated bridge.”
