LAGOS, Nigeria – The Federal Government has formerly opened the Third Mainland Bridge which has been under repair in the past six months.

the closure of the bridge had brought untold hardship to some residents of Lagos, who were forced into taking Eko Bridge when exiting the Lagos Island to the mainland and Ikorodu road  back to Opongbo and returning to Lagos Island.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the announcement on the social media earlier today.

“I am pleased to announce the full reopening of the Third Mainland Bridge after extended repair works have been completed to ensure its safety and efficiency for all residents. Your patience and resilience during this period have been paramount in maintaining our city’s economic momentum.

“I extend my deepest gratitude to HE President
