The Federal Government has announced the restriction of traffic from Lagos Island to Iyana Oworo on the Third Mainland Bridge, beginning from 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday. The restriction is to facilitate necessary repair works on the bridge.
Mrs. Olukorede Kesha, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, issued a statement on Tuesday night, urging motorists to cooperate with traffic officials during the repair period.
She also extended apologies for any inconvenience caused by the restrictions.
“The Federal Ministry of Works wish to inform the motoring public that in continuation of the ongoing rehabilitation works on the Third Mainland Bridge, the Island-Iyana Oworo bound traffic will be restricted,“ the statement read.
“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.
