The Federal Government had earlier announced the closure of all ramps of the Third Mainland Bridge for repair work, effective from 7 a.m. on Monday.
The Federal Ministry of Works made this announcement in a statement signed by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olukorede Keisha, on Friday.
Keisha said the federal government was set to undertake extensive repairs on the bridge.
The statement read, “In view of the above, the motoring public is hereby notified that all four ramps connecting Adekunle to TMB will be closed at the same time going forward.
“Consequently, motorists are hereby advised to use alternative routes while cooperating with the traffic management officials deployed to manage traffic and ensure hitch-free movement.”
