Motorists advised on Third Mainland Bridge’s traffic diversion

Vehicular traffic from Lagos Island inbounds Iyana Oworo axis of the Third Mainland Bridge will be restricted from 12.00 a.m on Wednesday to allow for repairs.

Olukorede Kesha, federal controller of works in Lagos State, stated this on Tuesday. The reason, she said, is to allow repairs on the bridge.

“The restriction will be from the bridge from 12.00 a.m on Wednesday, March 6 to 12-noon on Thursday, March 7, to allow the contractor execute a major aspect of the ongoing repair works on the bridge.

“Consequently, the bridge will not be opened to Iyana-Oworo bound traffic during this period.

“Thus, all road users plying this route are advised to use alternative routes during this period.

“However, Iyana-Oworo to Island bound carriageway will be free for the use of only island bound motorists throughout the period,” she said.
