ALERT!!! Third Mainland Bridge To Be Totally Shut Down From Friday – FG—The Nigerian Government has on Wednesday the 7th of October announced a three-day total lockdown of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
This will begin from midnight on Friday to midnight on Sunday to enable contractors to carry out special repair works on the 11.8km platform according to the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr. Olukayode Popoola.
However, the section of the bridge between Adekunle and Iyana – Oworo will remain open, and traffic can move from Ebute-Metta/ Adekunle to Iyana – Oworo and vice Versa.
The reason for this he said is that the construction had reached a stage where there should not be any form of movement or vibration on the bridge for concrete casting.
“The first total closure of the section of the bridge between Adekunle and Adeniji Adele will be from midnight of Friday, 9th October 2020 to midnight of Sunday, 11th October 2020 to enable the contractor to finish the first stage of casting works,” the statement read.
Mr Popoola added that traffic officials would be deployed to help traffic flow to all the alternative routes and the date for the second total closure of the section of the bridge between Adekunle and Adeniji Adele would be communicated to the general public.
