FG To Shut Third Mainland Bridge For Repairs by KillIgbohoN0W(op): 11:27am On Oct 19, 2023
The Federal Government on Thursday announced the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos starting from midnight of Saturday, October 21, to midnight of Sunday, October 22, to carry out repairs.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, in a statement, said the government was ready to begin comprehensive rehabilitation works on the bridge, starting with repairs of the critical portions.

Kesha said the Federal Government wished to inform the motoring public that it was currently working on plans to carry out comprehensive repairs of the Third Mainland Bridge.

“However, in order to alleviate the pains currently being experienced on the bridge, the Ministry would be carrying out palliative works on the most critically failed sections along the Adeniji bound carriageway on Sunday, Oct. 22, preparatory to the comprehensive repair works,” she said.

She advised motorists to cooperate with the traffic management officials by obeying and observing all diversions as directed for seamless movement.

“However, motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes where possible during the period of the palliative works as the Adeniji bound of the bridge will be closed to traffic from Saturday, Oct. 21 to Sunday, 22nd 12.00 midnight,” she said.

chai!

I keep wondering for the past 8yrs what the works ministry did in the last administration.
I think its likely to be the worst!

I can recall how many times that bridge was closed because of repairs. I also remember vividly then that its better for Lagosians to feel the punishment now so they can fix it once and for all than face disaster. So what did they do?

too much repair means the bridge is gone to avoid what happened in Italy, scatter the old one and build new one
Re: FG To Shut Third Mainland Bridge For Repairs by Reference(m): 11:41am On Oct 19, 2023
Again. Surely this is becoming counter productive.
At some point that bridge will have to be rebuilt.
For it cannot be making a profit if it were an enterprise or operated as such.
