Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos State Governor has given an update on the six months closure of the Third Mainland Bridge.
In his words, the closure of Third Mainland Bridge was necessary to prevent any disaster that could lead to the total collapse of the infrastructure.
While the bridge remains closed, he stated that a lane of the bridge would be opened to traffic for vehicles driving inward Lagos Island in the morning, while the other lane would be closed. The reverse would be done for vehicles driving inward Mainland in the afternoon.
Also with the new update which he took to his Twiter handle, the Lagos state governor advised commuters in the state to explore the option of waterways. He wrote;
“Dear Lagosians, I want to allay concerns we might have regarding the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge which will begin tomorrow evening,” Sanwo-Olu tweeted.“The closure is necessary to prevent any disaster that may result from the total collapse of the infrastructure.“We are deploying over 650 LASTMA officers on the roads to control traffic.“We also urge commuters to explore the option of our waterways. The jetty built in Ilaje area of Bariga has been activated, and we are increasing the capacity of our ferry services.“We remain committed to improving transportation in Lagos State. Ensuring Lagos has an efficiently run intermodal transportation system is an important component of our deliverables.”“Please do work with us as we work to achieve this.”
