The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Olukayode Popoola, has announced a three-day total shutdown of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
In a statement on Wednesday, he disclosed this stating that the bridge will be closed from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday to enable the contractors to carry out a special repair work.
Further, he said the construction had reached a stage where there should not be any form of movement or vibration on the bridge for concrete casting. He also mentioned that traffic officials would be deployed to alternative routes to ease the flow of traffic.
