PHOTOS: Gridlock as container-laden truck crashes height barrier at Lekki-Ikoyi bridge

 A container-laden truck has destroyed the height barrier
installed on the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge beside Admiralty road.

 

On Tuesday evening, the truck crashed into the steel height
barrier while attempting to ascend the bridge with a 40-foot container.

 

The truck got stuck at the entrance of the bridge because
the broken part of the height barrier was trapped between the container and the
front of the trailer.

 

The development has led to traffic gridlock at the
Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge.

 

On Wednesday morning, traffic officials arrived at the scene
to de-escalate the bedlam and gridlock.

 

As of 9am, the truck remains stuck at the bridge. Traffic is
now being diverted to the Lekki phase 1 tollgate corridor.
