The Nigerian government on Thursday announced the reopening of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.

The announcement is contained in a statement issued by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi.

“We are pleased to announce that parts of the Third Mainland Bridge which were closed last month will reopen today 21st December, 2023 by 6 pm,” he said.

He said the entire bridge is now fully accessible to the public, ensuring smoother connectivity and safe commuting.

He also expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their patience and understanding during the month-long closure, adding that the Lagos government was not oblivious to the discomfort the closure may have caused.

According to Osiyemi the reopening reaffirms the government’s commitment to infrastructure upkeep and public safety.

The development is coming over one month after the Federal Government through the Ministry of Works announced that it would be closing two ramps of the Third Mainland Bridge for repairs.
