NOTIFICATION OF CLOSURE OF THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE by 11am on Tuesday, JANUARY 9th 2024.
The Lagos State Government wishes to inform the public that the emergency repairs of the Third Mainland Bridge being carried out by the Federal Ministry of Works will continue with the closure of Iyana Oworonshoki- Adeniji Adele bound for the effective repairs of the entire section of the bridge. This closure is part of the ongoing work that started in November, focusing on fixing the ramps, and now, the remaining parts of the bridge will also be repaired.
However, to ease the burden of commuting, the following arrangements have been made.
From 12am to 12 noon, the bridge is open for Mainland Inbound Island travels while those who intend to come from the Island to the Mainland are advised to use Eko Bridge.
Conversely, from 12noon to 12pm, motorists will be able to access the bridge from the Island to the Mainland while motorists from the Mainland heading towards the Island will have to use Eko Bridge.
These timings have been selected to match the peak period flow of traffic and reduce travel stress. Please cooperate with our traffic management officials who will be helping out.
Thanks for your usual understanding and cooperation. Let’s work together to keep our roads safe. Happy Holidays!

Mr Seun Osiyemi
