The federal government has said that its plans to shut down a section of the Third Mainland Bridge for a further three days for expansion works.
The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Olukayode Popoola, said in a statement that the 72 hours will take effect, Friday, January 29.
According to him, the construction works had reached the stage for “casting concrete on additional three expansion joints, hence the need to stop all movements on the bridge that could cause vibrations.”
He added: “Messers Boroni Prono is planning to cast three number expansion joints on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st.
“This will require total closure of the Third Mainland bridge from 12:00 midnight of Friday 29th till midnight of Monday 1st February 2021.
“We are sorry for the inconveniences this may cause Lagosians,” Mr Popoola said.
