The Federal Government, late Sunday evening, reopened the Third Mainland Bridge barely 24 hours after closure for palliative work.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Olukorede Kesha, had expressed satisfaction with repairs done on the Third Mainland Bridge, assuring motorists of a smooth ride till the commencement of comprehensive rehabilitation in January 2024.
During the inspection, the controller stopped on various portions between Iyana-Oworo and Adeniji-Adele where remedial repairs had been done on a 9.7-kilometer stretch of the Lagos Island in-bound lane.
She stated that the construction done was just palliative work to keep the highway in good condition pending the comprehensive rehabilitation scheduled for January 2024.
