Third Mainland Bridge To Be Reopened On November 6

The Federal Ministry of Works, on Thursday,
disclosed that the Third Mainland Bridge will be
fully opened to traffic from November 6, as
scheduled by the contractor, Borini Prono.
The Director, South-west, Federal Ministry of
Works, Ejike Mgbemena, disclosed that according
to the work plan made available by the
contractor, the bridge would have been opened
for use last week because work was ahead of
schedule but due to the contractor’s inability to
apply some finishing touches, the opening was
postponed.
“I’m sorry to inform you of the postponement of
the opening of Third Mainland Bridge. We lately
discovered that the on-going pavement repair
works will not be ready earlier than anticipated
and this is responsible for this postponement”
he apologised.
Meanwhile, Mgbemena has revealed that the
Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, will be in
Lagos on Tuesday to declare the bridge open
and to thank Lagos residents for their patience.
