Nigerian Government announces three-day closure of Third Mainland Bridge

A section of Third Mainland Bridge will be completely closed for three days for repair works.

The Federal Government announced this in a statement on Wednesday by the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Joshua Popoola.

The statement noted that the total closure of the section of the bridge will start from Friday midnight.

He explained that the repair works on the bridge had reached a stage where there should not be any form of movement or vibration on the bridge for concrete casting.

The Third Mainland Bridge was partially shut on July 24 for another round of rehabilitation works expected to last for six months.

The FG had earlier announced that the construction would be divided into two phases of three months on each carriageway, starting with the Oworonsoki bound carriageway.
