The Federal Government of Nigeria on Wednesday said it had perfected plans to close a section of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State for five weeks comprehensive repairs.
A statement by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, said the repairs would start from Monday, November 6, 2023.
“In view of the above, the motoring public are hereby notified that the repair works will begin with the ramps connecting Oworonshoki to Adekunle and Lagos-Island (Adeniji Adele) to Adekunle simultaneously.
“Consequently, the two ramps mentioned above will be closed to traffic by 7a.m. on Monday, for five weeks.
“Motorists are, therefore, advised to cooperate with the traffic management officials by obeying and observing all diversions as directed. They are encouraged to use the alternative routes,” she said.
The controller in a traffic advisory urged motorists to comply with traffic rules, adding that traffic officers would be deployed at all diversion routes for effective monitoring, management and control.
Kesha said tow trucks and vehicles would also be deployed for prompt removal of distressed vehicles and trucks.
Motorists coming from Iyana-Oworo on the mainland and going to Adekunle are advised to avoid the Third Mainland Bridge and use alternative routes.
Likewise, the ones coming from the island on the Adeniji side going to Adekunle should use alternative routes because there will not be access to Adekunle.
