CLOSURE OF THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE WOULD BE PARTIAL - LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT
The Lagos State Government has announced that the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge would be partial.
This was announced by the spokesman of the Lagos State Governor, Gboyega Akosile, via his verified Twitter handle.
Akosile quoted the Special Adviser to the Governor on works and infrastructure, Engineer Aramide Adeoye. He said part of the bridge would be opened to traffic even as repairs are ongoing.
The tweet said; "The closure of Third Mainland Bridge would be partial, no complete closure as being speculated.
"A side of the carriageway will be open to traffic, while the other carriageway undergoes repair. Then the process is repeated on the other lane."
However, the State Government has asked motorists to use alternative routes during the bridge's partial closure.
In a Statement released by the Ministry of Transportation on Friday, the Government said the six-month exercise would focus on fixing the worn out expansion joints on the structure of the bridge.
