The Federal Government has announced that the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos will be closed for repair.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olukorede Kesha, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
Kesha said that the closure will start from midnight on Saturday, Oct. 21, to midnight of Sunday, Oct. 22 to carry out repairs.
She noted that the government was ready to begin comprehensive rehabilitation work on the bridge, starting with repairs of the critical portions.
“However, in order to alleviate the pains currently being experienced on the bridge, the Ministry would be carrying out palliative works on the most critically failed sections along the Adeniji-bound carriageway on Sunday, Oct. 22 preparatory to the comprehensive repair works,” Kesha said.
Kesha, however, urged motorists to cooperate with the traffic management officials by obeying and observing all diversions as directed for seamless movement.
She encouraged motorists to use alternative routes where possible during the period of repair.
