The Federal Ministry of Works has said that Kara bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will be shut for integrity tests.

This was made known in a letter addressed to the Lagos State Government and signed by the Deputy Director, Highways, Federal Ministry of Works, K.Y. Ibrahim.

Ibrahim stated that the tanker accident which occured on Sunday and claimed two lives, is the reason behind the closure.

He also noted that contractor handling that section of the expressway requested that the bridge be shut from Friday to Sunday in order to ascertain the bridge’s “serviceability state after the fire incident”.
