The Nigerian government has assured commuters and Lagos residents that the Third Mainland Bridge does not pose any structural danger and it is safe to use.

It also insisted that all the tests done preparatory to the closure of the bridge to commence comprehensive maintenance works indicated that the integrity of the bridge is intact.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, disclosed this in a statement Sunday in Abuja.

Fashola stated: “The general public is hereby informed that the expansion joint shown in a Facebook video clip, is one of those slated for change during repairs to the Third Mainland Bridge which will commence soon.

“It is still functioning and our engineers and consultants have advised that it does not pose any structural danger to the bridge and it is safe to use.”
