There will be a total closure of the Third Mainland Bridge for 24 hours to allow the contractor execute a major aspect of the ongoing repair works on the bridge.

 

Confiance News gathered that the closure by the Federal Ministry of Works was announced in a statement by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on Monday.

 

According to him, the closure will affect both bounds of the carriageways from 12 noon on Wednesday, February 28 to 12 noon on Thursday, 29, 2024.

The commissioner advised all road users to use alternative routes already provided during this period as the bridge would not be opened to traffic for 24-hours.

 

Osiyemi assured road users that the traffic management officials would be on ground to manage traffic and minimise inconveniences.

 

Repair works have been ongoing on the bridge since January with partial closures for in and outbound traffics.
