Third Mainland Bridge
Six hundred and fifty personnel have been deployed to alternative routes to the Third Mainland Bridge by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The bridge is undergoing maintece for about four days.
As stated by the General Manager of LASTMA Olawale Musa who revealed this in Lagos on Thursday, the closure of the bridge was to ensure free-flow of traffic in the state.
“Already, we have mobilised 650 personnel with enough materials and other logistics to ensure the free flow of traffic around the period. What we want from the public is strict adherence to traffic rules,” he said.
He added that “As a professional agency with requisite personnel and experience, I want to assure Lagosians that we would do everything to make sure that motorists and commuters are not subjected to any discomfort during the exercise.
“Our traffic officers have been adequately mandated to make sacrifices, demonstrate discipline and professionalism on all the alternative routes during the period of the closure of the Third Mainland Bridge.”
The LASTMA boss urged the officers to be compassionate to motorists while admonishing the motorists to be patient and obey the officers.
