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

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.

The development has led to traffic gridlock at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge and on adjoining roads.

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.

The driver should be tried & jailed, and his handlers be made paid for the damages.

Tried and jailed and other yenyen yen talk.
Why not hang them naa, give them rope or bullet for firing squad.

Some of these trailers and articulated vehicles should be restricted from plying some routes/roads. Imagine the damage this has caused on the infrastructure.

nedekid:
Possible he did not see it, it could also be there is no reflector on the barrier.
Do you think a trailer driver in a truck worth millions, carrying cargo also worth millions will intentionally crash on a barrier to force himself on a bridge?
