FG Suspends Third Mainland Bridge Repairs

FG has indefinitely suspended the proposed repair work earlier scheduled to begin on the Third Mainland Bridge Sunday.

The Lagos Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Charles Akpabio, said the postponement of the repairs is intended to put more measures in place to ease possible traffic congestion the closure of bridge will create.

Mr Akpabio urged all motorists in Lagos to go about their activities and wait for further information on the bridge repair.

The Third Mainland Bridge was to have been closed for about five months beginning Sunday and to be re-opened on November 6, 2012.
