Lagos Shuts Down Third Mainland Bridge Again On Friday

The Lagos State Government will shut down the Third Mainland
Bridge for 24 hours from midnight Friday, February 26th to midnight
Saturday.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde who
made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, said the total
closure of the bridge is to enable the contractors move the
equipment used during the rehabilitation process off the bridge and
allow both the Oworonshoki and Adeniji bound lanes open fully to
traffic.

Oladeinde therefore, advised motorists approaching the bridge
from Ogudu, Alapere and Gbagada to use Ikorodu Road, Jibowu and
Yaba, as alternative routes, while Iyana Oworoshoki-bound traffic
from Lagos-Island, Iddo, Oyingbo, Adekunle and Yaba are to use
Herbert Macaulay Way, Jibowu and Ikorodu Road as alternative
routes.

The Commissioner assured that traffic management personnel would
be deployed along the affected routes to minimize and address any
traffic impediments during the closure.

Commending Lagosians for their cooperation during the prolonged
repair works of the Bridge, the Commissioner assured that the
bridge is now safe for use by all and sundry.
