The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Saturday reiterated that motorists plying the Third Mainland Bridge should stop all fear and agitation over the partial closure of the bridge for repairs.
The Lagos State Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr Olusegun Ogungbemide, restated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos, following the long queue by mainland-bound motorists, waiting for afternoon peak period switchover.
Also, since huge traffic move from Island to the Mainland every afternoon, priority is given to mainland-bound motorists to have unhindered movement in the afternoon peak period between 1:00 p.m. and 12 midnight daily. “Traffic being stationed and waiting for afternoon switch is not necessary. Coming to wait at the boundary for the switchover is not necessary.
According to him, with this priority, about 80 per cent of normal traffic on the bridge has been taken care of while remaining 20 per cent should use the alternative routes during the less peak period – morning and afternoon.“ The Third Mainland Bridge is partially closed; it is not totally closed. It is still open to 80 per cent of total traffic usually on the bridge.
