Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State says the closure
of Third Mainland Bridge was necessary to prevent any disaster that may result
from the total collapse of the infrastructure.
He also advised commuters in the state to explore the option
of waterways.
The governor stated this in a tweet via his official Twitter
page on Thursday.
Recall that the Federal Government had announced
a partial closure of the Third Mainland Bridge from midnight on Friday.
“Dear Lagosians, I want to allay concerns we might have
regarding the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge which will begin tomorrow
evening,” Sanwo-Olu tweeted.
“The closure is necessary to prevent any disaster that may
result from the total collapse of the infrastructure.
“We are deploying over 650 LASTMA officers on the roads to
control traffic.
“We also urge commuters to explore the option of our
waterways. The jetty built in Ilaje area of Bariga has been activated, and we
are increasing the capacity of our ferry services.
“We remain committed to improving transportation in Lagos
State. Ensuring Lagos has an efficiently run intermodal transportation system
is an important component of our deliverables.”
“Please do work with us as we work to achieve this.”
