Petrol tanker explodes on Lagos-Ibadan highway bridge, FRSC provides traffic update
The Federal Road Safety Corps said a tanker was engulfed in an inferno on the long bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan highway on Tuesday.
Okpe told DAILY POST that the tanker explosion impaired traffic and caused gridlock around the long bridge, which affected motorists especially those driving out of Lagos after closing from the day’s job on Wednesday. Okpe added that the nature of the crash, which involved inferno from a highly inflammable product, caused the affected road to be closed to traffic to prevent secondary fire affecting other motorists.
“Due to the ongoing rescue operations, traffic has been challenging and motorists not close to the Mowe, Ibafo axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway or those travelling out of Lagos via the Long Bridge may for now avoid the Long Bridge to ease traffic management around the area.
