The Federal Government will shut the Third Mainland bridge for 24 hours for urgent rehabilitation beginning with some crucial sections.

Mrs Olukorede Kesha, the Federal Controller of Works for Lagos State, in a statement on Thursday, said the bridge would be closed from midnight on Saturday, October 21, to midnight on Sunday, October 22, for some repairs.

She also advised motorists to use alternative routes where possible during the period of the palliative work.

“However, to alleviate the pains currently experienced on the bridge, the Ministry would be carrying out palliative works on the most critically failed sections along the Adeniji bound carriageway on Sunday, October 22, preparatory to the comprehensive repair works.

“Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes where possible during the period of the palliative works as the Adeniji bound of the bridge will be closed to traffic from Saturday, October 21 to Sunday, 22nd 12.00 midnight,” she said.

The Third Mainland Bridge was the longest bridge in Africa until 1996 when the 6th October Bridge located in Cairo was completed.

The bridge starts from Oworonshoki which is linked to the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, and ends at the Adeniji Adele interchange on Lagos Island.
