The contractors handling the project, said that two alternative diversions had been made to deflect gridlock.
He said that the repair done on the Ijora/Lagos-bound carriageway was being repeated on the Apapa-bound carriageway, including that the foundation work under the bridge had been finished.
"We are marking, cutting and doing the planning to begin to prestressed the bridge; this offers quality to the bridge, he said.
"Bridge need to be scaffold to rearrange the links and cast concrete on it again to set it up for the following phase of development which will be installation of heading,'' he said.
He said that after the 29 days, the following phase of repairs would be the substitution of heading on both carriageways which, he stated, would take 40 days on each side.
Bola Suleiman of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, a specialist administering the venture, said that all the movement administration offices had been prepared to guarantee free stream of activity during the conclusion.

Suleiman said that the service was filling potholes on Burma Road to secure free movement. The Marine Beach Bridge was harmed by flame around 10 years years.
Contract for repair of the scaffold was granted in 2012 however the temporary worker surrendered the venture because of assets limitation.
The temporary workers moved back to site on March 5 to start the repair works.
