The Federal Ministry of Works says both bounds of the carriageways of the Third Mainland Bridge will be closed to traffic from noon on Wednesday to noon on Thursday.
The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Kesha,
made this known in a statement made available to journalists in Lagos on
Monday.
She said that the total closure was in continuation of the
ongoing rehabilitation works on the bridge.
Keisha said it was to allow the contractor to execute a
major aspect of the ongoing repair works on the bridge.
“Consequently, the bridge would not be opened to traffic
during this critical 24-hour period. Thus, all road users are advised to use
alternative routes during this period.
“Motorists are further advised to cooperate with the traffic
management officials deployed to manage traffic and ensure hitch- free
movements in order to minimize the discomfort during this critical 24-hours
period.
“While thanking the general public for their continued
cooperation and understanding, please note that all inconveniences are highly
regretted,” she said.
The Lagos State Government also released notification for
the planned total closure of the bridge
The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi,
did this on Monday in Lagos.
“All road users are advised to use alternative routes
already provided during this period as the bridge will not be opened to traffic
for 24-hours,” he said.
While thanking the general public for their patience and
cooperation, Osiyemi assured that the traffic management officials would be on
ground to manage traffic and minimise inconveniences.
