Lagos State Government has announced that the Third Mainland Bridge would be temporarily closed for four days starting from midnight of August 23 to midnight of August 26 so that an investigative maintenance test will be carried out.
Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Ade Akinsanya, stated this in a new statement which reads: “The Third Mainland Bridge which was opened about 30 years ago by the then military government has had haphazard maintenance and repairs in the past which the present Federal Government is committed to correct by carrying out proper and continuous maintenance and repairs on it.” He added that traffic management agencies have been mandated to ensure smooth flow of traffic on all the other alternative roads and traffic corridor across the metropolis to ensure free flow of traffic.
