The Third Mainland Bridge will be closed to traffic from 1pm on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
This disclosure was made by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The road closure will allow the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), to recover the waste disposal truck that fell off the bridge into the Lagoon on Tuesday.
In a statement released by LASMA on Friday, October 21, the agency explained that the road closure and traffic diversion would only affect motorists moving from Lagos Island to connect the mainland through Iyana Oworonshoki.
However, it will not affect motorists moving from the mainland to Lagos Island.
Motorists coming from Victoria Island/Ikoyi/ Lagos Island are advised to make use of the Carter Bridge and connect to “Ijora Olopa (by LAWMA Headquarters) to Eko Bridge to Funsho Williams Avenue (old Western Avenue) to Dorman-Long Bridge to Ikorodu Road through Fadeyi and connect the desired destination, or Carter Bridge to Iddo to Oyingbo to Herbert Macaulay Way to Jibowu to Ikorodu Road and connect the desired destination”.
“From Victoria Island/ Ikoyi/ Lagos Island to Mainland (Ebute-Mette), use Adekunle interchange to Herbert Macaulay Way to connect the desired destination,” the statement added.
