Federal Government reopened the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos, one week ahead of the
scheduled delivery date of November 6, 2012. The government had partially closed the
bridge on July 7 to enable the contractor, Messrs Boroni Prono and
Company Limited, to replace eight expansion joints on the bridge for a
contract sum of N1bn.
The reopening of the bridge will come as
a welcome relief to motorists and commuters, who have had to connect
Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah and Epe from different parts
of the mainland through Western Avenue due to restriction of vehicular
movement on the bridge from 12 noon to 12am, while opening for movement
to the mainland within the same time.
Special Adviser to the Minister of
Works on Media, Tony Ikpasaja, confirmed the reopening of the bridge According to him, the Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, will open the rehabilitated bridge to motorists at
a ceremony that will also have in attendance federal and Lagos State
government officials and other stakeholders.
