Lagos State Government has postponed the planned palliative works on the failed sections of the Third Mainland Bridge.
Gatekeepers News reports that the repairs were scheduled for two consecutive Sundays, September 17 and 24, between 7 am and 7 pm on both days.
However, on Saturday, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi explained that the postponement is “due to the heavy downpour experienced in all parts of the metropolis today.”
He noted that the rain has affected the preliminaries of the planned palliative works on the asphalt pavement of the bridge by the Lagos State Public Works Corporation.
The Lagos State Government had on Friday, announced palliative works to be carried out by its Public Works Corporation and the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing on failed sections of the ever-busy Third Mainland Bridge.
The Transport Commissioner has assured that a later date subject to weather conditions will be duly communicated for the palliative works, urging motorists to continue to access the bridge with observance of safety measures.
