Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge reopened to traffic today after undergoing a thorough rehabilitation.
Minister of Works, Senator David Nweze Umahi, in a phone call in the early hours of today, directed the Controller of Works, Lagos State, Engineer Mrs O.I.Kesha to open the bridge to traffic in order to ease the stress which motorists have been subjected to during the period of the first phase of rehabilitation works on the bridge
Speaking to journalists soon after the directive, the Minister of Works said, the successful completion of the first phase of the rehabilitation which was started and completed by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration is a clear indication that Tinubu is working.
Umahi called on all Nigerians to continue to have faith in the Renewed Hope Agenda of the president, maintaining, however, that nothing good comes so easy.
In a statement, the minister revealed that work has already begun on the underwater damage to the bridge, which is the second phase of the rehabilitation of the bridge.
Similarly, the minister said, rehabilitation will commence on the Carter Bridge in the coming weeks, adding that the contractor has already been mobilised.
