The Federal Government has officially closed the Third Mainland Bridge; however, the closure is partial. According to the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, the decision to close the bridge is to facilitate comprehensive maintenance and repair works both on the upper structure and the components beneath. This strategic move aims to ensure the structural integrity of the bridge and enhance safety for commuters.
The closure comes with specific timing arrangements, as explained by Mrs. Olukorede Kesha. Motorists using the Third Mainland Bridge are advised to take note of the 12-hour interchange schedule. During specific hours, the bridge will be accessible for either inbound or outbound traffic. This scheduling aims to minimize disruption to the flow of traffic while allowing essential repair and maintenance activities to be carried out efficiently.
The comprehensive maintenance work on the upper and lower sections of the Third Mainland Bridge demonstrates the government’s commitment to infrastructure upkeep and public safety. By implementing these measures, authorities aim to extend the lifespan of the bridge, providing a reliable and secure transportation route for residents and commuters. Commuters are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly, considering the specified hours for bridge access during this period of partial closure.
