Following the Federal Government’s announcement to shut the Third Mainland Bridge from Saturday, October 21, 2023 to Sunday, October 22, 2023 for repairs, alternative routes for commuters have been disclosed.
This disclosure is contained in a statement issued on Thursday by the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Engr O. I. Kesha, where he encouraged motorists to use alternative routes during the period of the palliative works.
According to the advisory “motorists from the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Alapere/Ogudu axis inwards Lagos Island will be diverted towards Gbagada-Oshodi expressway to link Ikorodu road/Funsho Williams Avenue to access Eko bridge and Lagos Island.
“ Motorists from Lagos mainland going through Herbert Macaulay road (Adekunle axis) inwards Lagos Island via the third mainland bridge will be diverted towards Muritala Mohammed Way to make use of Carter bridge to link Lagos Island.
Also, the vast Lagos lagoon delicately links the metropolis; hence water transportation is a good alternative. It is fast, convenient and safe. Motorists may want to explore the use of Jetty.” the statement advised.
