The Federal Government has announced an 18-hour total closure of the Third Mainland Bridge this weekend.
The FG said it has also completed the first phase rehabilitation of the bridge.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Olukayode Popoola, during an inspection of the bridge noted that the fixing of six expansion joints on the Oworonshoki-bound carriageway had been completed.
Popoola said the closure was necessary, so that debris would be cleared from the section and construction would move to the Island-bound carriageway.
The 18-hour closure would begin from midnight on Saturday through Sunday. By midnight of Sunday, the total closure would be removed and the partial closure would return.
“The diversions will still be at the same previous points.
