The Lagos State Government will on Thursday (today) reopen The Third Mainland Bridge.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the spokesperson of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority Adebayo Toafiq, on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the General Manager of the Agency, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki gave the warning today while addressing Officers of the Agency whose purview falls within the Third Mainland Bridge operational areas.
According to Bakare-Oki, the rehabilitated bridge is fascinating to drive on without any impediments, as such it may be tempting and risky not to observe the speed limit thereby resulting in untoward consequences for motorists.
“The government has installed state-of-the-art facilities that will aid motorists in navigating the entire bridge to their various destinations within a reasonable travel time”, he said.
He added that Motorists must be conscious of time and plan their journey to avoid unnecessary overspeeding while using the bridge and any other link roads across the State.
Bakare-Oki assured the motoring public that the Agency would deploy more men, patrol and recovery vehicles to ensure the safety of motorists and timely rescue intervention on the bridge.
The General Manager, however, cautioned owners/drivers of vehicles to ensure that their vehicles are in good condition before playing the bridge as the Agency would frown at any avoidable obstacles capable of hindering vehicular movements on the flyover.
