Major Repair Work  On The Third Mainland Bridge In January 2024

The bridge, which is a connecting link between island and mainland, will be closed temporarily for six months during the period of the major repair work,

So we were saying let us do a complete overhaul of the asphalt overlay. Some of them have been long overdue because we haven’t done that in the last 30 years.

It is just the failures that have shown up that we have been addressing,” Keisha said.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olukorede Keisha, has disclosed that major repair work will begin on Third Mainland Bridge in January 2024.

Keisha made the disclosure on Friday, while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

According to her, the contract has already been awarded by the Federal Government, adding that what the government currently wants to do is palliative work.“It is going to take the contractor 3 months to import those elements needed for the repair.

One bound will be for 3 months then we will divert to the other bound once we are done with this bound we will bring back traffic to this lane.

Afterwards we were going to have a very brand new road,” she added.
Recall that the Federal Government in a statement on Thursday, announced that the Federal Ministry of Works would be carrying out palliative works on the bridge on Sunday, preparatory to the comprehensive repair works.

To alleviate the current bridge pains, the Ministry will conduct palliative works on the critically failed sections on Sunday, October 22, 2023, before the comprehensive repair works.In light of the above, please cooperate with traffic officials and follow diversions.

Consider using alternative routes as the Adeniji bound of the bridge will be closed from Saturday, October 21, 2023, to Sunday, October 22, 2023, midnight.
