Renowned Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessings has raised alarm over the safety of the recently reconstructed Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, cautioning Nigerians that it could potentially pose as a “death trap.”

Sharing her harrowing experience and expressing condolences for the loss of a friend due to an accident on the same road, Blessings urged motorists to exercise caution and refrain from speeding on the bridge.

In a message posted on her social media platform, Blessings acknowledged the efforts of those responsible for the reconstruction but emphasized that, despite its improved appearance, the bridge still harbours significant safety concerns.

She recounted a recent incident where her steering wheel nearly slipped from her hands while driving on the bridge, despite not exceeding the speed limit.

Blessings urged the public to prioritize safety over speed, pleading that untimely deaths should not be their portion.

She concluded her message with a tribute to her late friend and reiterated her plea for motorists to exercise caution while traversing the newly renovated Third Mainland Bridge.

“I appreciate whoever is in charge of the reconstruction of the 3rd Mainland Bridge, but I can categorically tell you that the new bridge is dangerous, more like a death trap.

“With my driving experience on that bridge two nights ago,please and please do not speed on that bridge. Yes, it’s a beautiful and smooth bridge now compared to the way it was before.

“But I almost had an accident two nights ago, not like I was even speeding cus I no sabi drive speed,but my steering almost left my hands while driving…then just last night I lost a good friend on that same bridge. It hurts, but what can we call this?”

The actress’s plea comes amidst ongoing concerns regarding the safety of the Third Mainland Bridge, one of the busiest and most vital transportation arteries in Lagos.

With Blessings’ warning echoing across social media platforms, authorities are urged to address any potential hazards and ensure the safety of commuters plying the bridge.
