“From December 15, 2022 to January 1, 2023, the new bridge will be open only to motorists and other road users, coming from the west to the east, through Asaba.
“From Jan. 2 to Jan. 15. 2023, only vehicles coming from the east to the west will be allowed to use the new bridge.
“Heavy-duty trucks and articulated vehicles will not be allowed on the bridge during this period,’’ Anambra Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr Adeoye Irelewuyi, stated on Friday in Onitsha, Anambra.
He urged members of the public to cooperate with all traffic managers to ensure free flow of traffic during the period.
