02 Jan Third Mainland Bridge to be opened February

Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladeinde, has said the Third Mainland Bridge would be opened fully to vehicular traffic in February.

He told The Punch on Friday that the rehabilitation of the bridge had to be pushed from January 2021 to February due to the effect of the #EndSARS protests.

He said, “It was supposed to be January but it is now February 2021. It has been moved by a month. The first phase is finished, the second phase has started.”

The Federal Government had announced that the bridge would be closed for six months for maintenance works. Construction was scheduled to be done in two phases, three months on each carriageway.
