Lagos govt warns motorist against over speeding on third mainland bridge

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has warned motorists to observe speed limits when travelling along the extensive section of the newly repaired Third Mainland Bridge.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the agency’s spokesperson, Adebayo Toafiq, on Wednesday.

He urged motorists to observe all traffic signs and installed technological equipment connected to traffic.

The General Manager, however, cautioned owners/drivers of vehicles to ensure that their vehicles are in good condition before plying the bridge as the Agency would frown at any avoidable obstacles capable of hindering vehicular movements on the flyover.

The Lagos State Government had on March 30 announced the planned reopening of the Third Mainland Bridge on Thursday, April 4, 2024.

This was according to a statement by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on his X account on Saturday.

The statement read, “Dear Lagos residents, We’re pleased to share that the Third Mainland Bridge will resume full operations on April 4, 2024, following extensive repairs.”
