FRSC, LASTMA Seek Commuters' Cooperation on Third Mainland Bridge Closure
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) have appealed to commuters to cooperate with them during the planned closure of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
The bridge, which is one of the busiest in the country, will be closed to traffic from midnight on July 24 to midnight on July 25 to allow for repairs and maintenance work.
In a joint statement, the FRSC and LASTMA urged commuters to plan their journeys in advance and avoid traveling during the closure period, if possible.
"We understand that the closure of the bridge may cause inconvenience to many commuters, but we assure you that the closure is necessary to ensure the safety and durability of the bridge," the statement said.
The authorities also advised motorists to use alternative routes, such as the Carter Bridge, the Eko Bridge, and the Ikorodu Road, to reach their destinations.
"We will have personnel on the ground to direct traffic and ensure a smooth flow of traffic during the closure period," the statement added.
Commuters are advised to check for updates on traffic conditions before embarking on their journeys and to follow all traffic instructions from FRSC and LASTMA personnel.
The closure of the Third Mainland Bridge is expected to affect traffic in the Lagos metropolis, and commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid delays and congestion.
