Lagos Third Mainland Bridge to be closed for repairs



The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Adedamola Kuti, said that consultations had begun for the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge for repairs.

Kuti told the News Agency of Nigeria NAN that the ministry of works was going to hold a meeting with stakeholders tomorrow to discuss how to manage traffic during the repairs.


He however did not specify the exact date the bridge would be closed to traffic or how long the repairs would last. According to him, stakeholders attending the meeting to discuss the repairs include traffic regulatory agencies, transport unions, truck owners and drivers unions, law enforcement agents, among others. He said that six other damaged bridges across the state were already undergoing maintenance and rehabilitation.

The controller said that some tests had been carried out on the Otedola Bridge, whose surface was recently burnt during a tanker fire.

Kuti said that the tests revealed that the bridge was safe for use and that the contractors would soon attend to the bridge.
