3RD MAINLAND BRIDGE TO BE PERMANENTLY CLOSED




3rd mainland bridge will be permanently closed to motorist on Sunday 29th July 2012 from 6am-Midnight and also on the Sunday 5th August 2012.

Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, explained that traffic on the bridge needed to undergo total diversion on the two days to allow for the concrete casting of the three expansion joints currently undergoing repair.
He said, “The concrete casting and drying process requires zero vibration, hence the complete diversion of vehicular traffic away from the bridge from Oworonshoki end to Adeniji Adele end.
The Commissioner added that those going to Lagos Island would be diverted at Oworonshoki to connect Ikorodu Road (via Anthony Interchange) to link either Jibowu to Muritala Muhammed Way to Iddo or continue to Eko Bridge through Funsho Wiliams Avenue; or Agege Motor Road (via Oshodi Interchange) to link Moshalasi to either Jibowu to Murtala Mohamed Way and Apapa – Oshodi Expressway through Mile 2 to connect Ijora and then Lagos Island.
Opeifa said officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority would be on the ground to ensure free flow of traffic and remove any impediment  that may obstruct easy movement.
