Lagosians Lament 6 Months Closure Of Third Mainland Bridge By State Government
The federal government and Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu have come under attack over the closure of Third Mainland bridge for six months.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Olukayode Popoola, announced that Third Mainland bridge will be closed likely on July 24th for another phase of repair works to begin.
Popoola said that consultations were on towards evolving perfect traffic management architecture.
The recent development has stirred reactions from residents in Lagos as they have expressed concern over traffic gridlock in the state.
Some Lagosians queried the government for taking such decisions now despite having experienced almost three months lockdown in the state.
Here are some comments gathered by Giditrendz from Twitter:

“Why didn’t they carry out this said maintenance when the country was in total lock down, after all some people on essentials were allowed to move around.”
