LAGOS:The Lagos State Government announced yesterday that it will close the Marine Bridge’s Ijora 7up end from February 2 to May 10, 2024, in order to conduct extensive maintenance.

Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, who made the announcement, said some alternative routes have been mapped out for motorists during the repairs.
