FG reopens Third Mainland Bridge after repairs

The Federal Government, late Sunday evening, reopened the Third Mainland Bridge barely 24 hours after closure for palliative work.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, had expressed satisfaction with repairs done on the Third Mainland Bridge, assuring motorists of a smooth ride till the commencement of comprehensive rehabilitation in January 2024.

Kesha gave the assurance on Sunday during an on-the-spot assessment of the repairs on the bridge.

However, the road was reopened to traffic at about 7 p.m. following completion of the repair work.

Recall that the controller had, on Thursday, announced a 24-hour closure of the bridge to allow for repairs of some critical portions.
