The Federal Government has reopened the Third Mainland Bridge, one month after its closure for maintenance work.
The Minister for works commended Nigerians for their “patience during the temporary closure,” adding that the government understood the inconvenience the closure may have caused.
Osiyemi maintained that the reopening reaffirms the government’s commitment to infrastructure upkeep and public safety.
The move came 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.
The Third Mainland is Africa’s second-largest bridge, extending nearly 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) to link Lagos Island, the business heart of the city, with the mainland where most people live.
It was built in 1990 in Nigeria’s economic engine.
