Last week, Lagos residents had a feel of what the transit experience would be as the six-month partial lockdown of the Third Mainland Bridge for repairs, begins. The Lagos State Governor, Mr.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, assured Lagos residents that “the partial closure of Third Mainland Bridge is not something that everybody should worry about, because this is an exercise that had been done before. For emphasis, the traffic disruption is only about 25 per cent of the regular traffic on the bridge. The 75 per cent of vehicles that normally ply the route will still have access to move on the bridge during the period of repair.
However, some understand the perfect routing to beat the congestion, backed with knowledge on when to move, and alternative routes to use. The secret is to have the right information to be at the right place at the right time. While the ability to swim is a huge advantage, it is not a requirement to board a boat. The Lagos State Waterways Authority rigorously enforces safety requirements, which include the compulsory use of life jackets, meant to keep passengers afloat in the event of an unlikely accident.
It is duly advised that the best way to save oneself from the current traffic brouhaha is to stay at home and work.There is a need to understand that these alternatives are not entirely foolproof. The increase in the use of the waterways will open it to many interruptions; taking the Iddo alternative course does not guarantee you will not encounter traffic on the route, and working from home opens your business to the increasing global cyber-based attacks and fraud incidences.
