Lagos Reopens Third Mainland Bridge

….as Sanwo-Olu confirms completion of maintenance,
rehabilitation work

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday
confirmed the successful completion of the maintenance and
rehabilitation of Third Mainland Bridge.

Sanwo-Olu through his official twitter handle on Saturday said,
“Dear Lagosians, The Third Mainland Bridge maintenance and
rehabilitation is completed, and is now fully accessible to
all.

“Thank you for your patience and kind understanding during the
period of its closure. Please adhere strictly to traffic laws while
commuting.”

Also the Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola also
confirmed the reopening.

He said, “Third mainland bridge rehab completed. Fully opens to
traffic at 12noon today. Thank you all for your patience. Drive
safely.”

Recall that the Federal Government had partially shut the Third
Mainland Bridge on July 24, 2020 for another round of
rehabilitation.

The series of repairs, expected to last six months, was extended
from January to February because of the #EndSARS protests.

The construction was initially divided into two phases of three
months on each carriageway, starting with the Oworonsoki-bound
carriageway whose completion dragged to four months.

Traffic was partially diverted on a stretch of 3.5km where
construction was on-going between Adeniji Adele Ramp and Ebute
Meta, while different time belts were allotted for traffic
diversions on the bridge.
