Unbeatable Gridlock As Repairs of Third Mainland Bridge Begins

Costain End of Eko Bridge 1

MONDAY 9TH OF JULY,2012 is  day two of maintenance work on Africa’s longest bridge-Third Mainland Bridge located in the commercial nerve centre of West-Africa, Lagos-Nigeria.

Being the first working day since the maintenance of the bridge commenced, slow-movements are experienced on major roads in and around the state, leaving commuters stranded.

Of interest is the fear expressed by some Lagosians, which led to their setting out earlier for the day’s business due to the anticipated gridlock.

Julius, an accountant with a private firm in Victoria Island said he left his Ikorodu home at about 4am as against his regular 5am departure time all for the fear of the traffic which he perceived might greet the commencement of maintenance of the Third Mainland Bridge.
