The federal government has issued advisory access routes ahead of the commencement of repair on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.
Recall that the federal government announced the closure of some sections of the bridge for five weeks starting Monday, November 6.
The federal controller of works for Lagos state, Olukorede Kesha, revealed that the closure of some sections of the bridge was necessary to carry out maintenance where repairs were needed.
She said the maintenance will commence with two access ramps to Adekunle close to the traffic.
Mrs Kesha said: “This means that if you’re coming from Iyana Oworo, you might go straight. And if you are going to Lagos Island, the bridge will still be free for access. But if you might not be able to go to Adekunle if you are coming from Iyana Oworo.
“Motorists coming from Lagos-Ibadan Expressway/Toll Gate/Ogudu axis inwards Lagos Island would not be able to access Adekunle/Ebute-Metta from the Third Mainland Bridge.”
She assured residents of Lagos that the Third Mainland Bridge will be open and accessible for use except for those who need to connect to Adekunle from the bridge.
