He said that this was evident in the number of bridges that had been repaired in the state, with many more receiving attention.
“We have also completely repaired the Ijora-7Up Bridge; Coconut Bridge repair has been completed, the burnt Marine Beach Bridge repair has been completed and, as I speak, maintenance work is ongoing on the Independence Bridge on the Island. The controller said he had given instruction to a contractor to move to site to rehabilitate a portion of the Apapa Bridge.“That Alaka Bridge goes into Iganmu, the contractor has done a lot of work there. They have done the resurfacing, they have milled the old asphalt and are replacing the expansion joints.
“Also, at the intersection outwards Apapa and inwards Apapa from Costain area, there is a very bad expansion joint, I just gave instruction to fix it,’’ Kuti said.
