Third mainland bridge to reopen April 4

The Lagos State Government has revealed that the Third Mainland Bridge will be open fully to vehicular traffic from April 4, 2024, after the completion of significant repair works.

Recall that the Federal Government had closed the bridge for emergency repairs and left one portion of the bridge open intermittently for road users. These closures have necessitated the use of alternate routes by motorists during the repair periods.

In an update on Saturday, the Lagos State Commissioner of Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi revealed that the Third Mainland Bridge will resume full operations on April 4th, 2024.

The Commissioner expressed gratitude to the residents of Lagos for their patience and cooperation during the repair period and expressed optimism for more efficient travel on the bridge.

“Dear Lagos Residents, We’re pleased to share that the Third Mainland Bridge will resume full operations on April 4th, 2024, following extensive repairs.

“We sincerely thank you for your patience and cooperation, and we look forward to even smoother travels ahead,” the statement read.
