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.
