The Federal Government has announced the temporary closure of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos to facilitate essential repairs.

The closure will be in effect from midnight on Saturday, October 21, until midnight on Sunday, October 22.

Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, revealed that the government is initiating comprehensive rehabilitation efforts on the bridge, primarily focusing on critical repairs.

To mitigate commuters' inconvenience, the Ministry will conduct preliminary palliative works on the most severely affected sections along the Adeniji-bound carriageway on Sunday, October 22. These actions are preparatory measures for the extensive repair project.

Motorists are urged to cooperate with traffic management officials by adhering to diversion instructions for smooth traffic flow. During the palliative works, the Adeniji-bound section of the bridge will be closed from Saturday, October 21, until midnight on Sunday, October 22.

We encourage drivers to consider alternative routes where possible during this period.
