Repair works are ongoing on the Third Mainland Bridge which connects the mainland and island in Lagos.
It recently opened partially after it was shut for a few weeks to enable repairs.

The Oworonshoki bound lane of the Third Mainland Bridge will be shut to vehicular movement by midnight on Saturday, February 6 till 7pm on Sunday, February 7 to remove the last expansion joint on the Oworonshoki bound lane.

A statement released by the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation on Wednesday, said the closure is vital to enable the contractor move its equipment to the Oworonshoki bound lane within the given period without any interruption.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladeinde, stated that the rehabilitation process was being done assiduously to ensure set deadlines were met.

However, motorists from Ogudu, Alapere and Gbagada are urged to use Ikorodu Road, Jibowu and Yaba as alternative routes, while Iyana Oworosoki bound traffic from the Lagos Island, Iddo, Oyingbo, Adekunle and Yaba should use Herbert Macaulay Way, Jibowu and Ikorodu road as alternative routes.
