The Third Mainland Bridge will be closed in one part on Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm as a result of repairs being made to some of the bridge’s failing sections, according to the Lagos State Government.
Traffic will be switched from one lane to another at the Bridge’s designated failed asphaltic sections, according to a statement penned on Saturday and signed by Dr. Frederic Oladeinde, Lagos State Commissioner of Transportation.
According to the State’s Commissioner of Transportation, “About the notification received for the readiness of the Lagos State Public Works Corporation to repair the identified failed/peeled asphaltic sections of the Third Mainland Bridge, the Lagos State Government has announced traffic diversion plan for the rehabilitation process which is between 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
“Traffic will be diverted from one lane to another lane at the identified failed asphaltic sections on the Bridge. This was expedient to solve tailbacks along the bridge at the peak periods as a result of the failed sections.”
Oladeinde assured that the State’s Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA would be fully on the ground to direct traffic to ameliorate the inconveniences. The statement implored Motorists to be patient as the measures taken are aimed at providing quality and safe road infrastructure for everyone.
