The Federal Government is set to shut the Third Mainland Bridge for six months starting from Friday, July 24.

This was confirmed by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Olukayode Popoola.

According to him, consultations are ongoing for another phase of repair works to begin on the 11.8km bridge.

Popoola explained that the work will commence on the outward mainland section of the bridge, and the ministry is working with relevant agencies to perfect traffic during the period.

The bridge has gone through a series of repair works and was last shut in August 2018 for a three-day investigative maintenance check.

There have also been reports of some worn-out expansion joints on the structure, raising concerns over the state of the bridge.

This development will force motorists in Lagos who ply the bridge to begin making arrangements for alternative routes.

This is targeted at us.

Because they know we are the most successful. 

We own 98% of Lagos and Fed govt want to shut us down using third Mainland bridge because we are very successful.

Good development. But the traffic jam will be much from Island.

This government is annoying. They are quick to create hardship for the citizens. Why not improve the roads on the alternate routes first? This e-repairs go finish one day sha.
