What You Should Know as Repairs on Third Mainland Bridge Resume
Lagos State Government has said the third mainland bridge will close for rehabilitation work on Tuesday, January 9. However, they haven’t mentioned how long the closure will last.

Repair work kicked off on the bridge in November 2023, after an inspection by the Minister of Works, David Umahi. Umahi announced that the rehabilitation would be completed within three months, with the completion expected to fall in January 2024.

Announcing the resumption of construction work on the bridge in a statement, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said:

[ad]

“The closure is part of the ongoing work that started in November 2023, focusing on fixing the ramps, and now, the remaining parts of the bridge will also be repaired.”

The commissioner said the following arrangements have been put in place for road users:
- From 12 a.m (midnight) to 12 noon, the bridge would be opened for travellers from the Mainland to the Island, while those who intend to travel from the Island to the Mainland are advised to use Eko Bridge. This diversion means commuters coming from places like Oworonshoki, Ikeja, Berger, Ketu and Ogudu, can access the bridge till noon when it’s closed.
- From 12 noon to 12 a.m., motorists will be able to access the bridge from the Island to the Mainland while motorists from the Mainland heading towards the Island will have to use Eko Bridge. This means motorists coming from places like Lekki, Ikoyi and Obalende will have access to the bridge until midnight.
