FG finally reopens Third Mainland Bridge to regular traffic

Workmen began early in the morning to clear the bridge of debris and removed crash barriers from the site and put finishing touches to asphalt laying on some sections before the main opening with spectators watching.Supervising the reopening at exactly 11:54 am Mr Emmanuel Adeoye, Director, Highway Bridges and Design said that work on the surface of the bridge had been completed but additional work would continue underneath.

He said that bridge maintenance unit of the Federal Ministry of Works would continue to carry out periodic maintenance subsequently and check components of the bridge.He said that the work under the bridge would be completed between the next six months to one year. “And I am using this opportunity to express our gratitude on behalf of the hounourable Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola to our host state, that is Lagos State, in particular his excellency, the governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his unusual cooperation when the work was going on,” he said.

However, the first motorists to use the bridge cheered the engineers with some of them shouting out loud “God bless you, progress, one love”.NAN reports that the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos had to be partially shut on July 24 for another round of rehabilitation works.

What's with this opening and closing, opening and closing of 3rd mainland bridge Year-in, Year-out!!
