3rd Mainland Bridge Is Getting Weak, It Might Collapse At
Anytime (Shocking Video)
The Third-Mainland Bridge is one of the three bridges linking Lagos Island to
the mainland. It was named Third-Mainland Bridge because it is the third of the
three bridges that connects Lagos Island with the Mainland – the other two being
the Eko and Carter Bridges.
The Third-Mainland Bridge is the longest of the three bridges. The
Third-Mainland bridge starts from Oworonshoki which is linked to the
Apapa-Oshodi expressway and Lagos-Ibadan expressway, and ends at the Adeniji
Adele Interchange on Lagos Island.
DMW’s star rapper, Dremo took to Instagram page sharing a video of a
dilapidated Third mainland bridge. He wrote: “The 3rd mainland bridge is getting
weak, this is something we need to fix!! #SaveLifes cc @jidesanwoolu

The Third-Mainland Bridge has a total length of 11.8 km. It was the longest
bridge in Africa until 1996 when the 20.5 km long “6th October Bridge” located
in Cairo, Egypt was completed in 1996. It is the longest Bridge longest in West
Africa. The official name of the bridge is “Ibrahim Babangida Bridge”. However,
the bridge is rarely called by that name.
The Third-Mainland Bridge is an eight-lane bridge. It offers breath-taking
views of the Lagos Lagoon, the University of Lagos Waterfront and Makoko, a
shanty town built on the Lagos Lagoon. Less than N1Billion naira was spent by
the Babangida administration to complete the Third Mainland Bridge after the
abandoned project was restarted. In 2013, N1.05billion was spent on repair works
on the Third Mainland Bridge and additional works on the bridge’s expansion
joints.
Recall that the Lagos State Government temporarily shut down the Third
Mainland Bridge from midnight of August 23 to midnight of August 26, 2018, for
Investigative Maintenance Test to be carried out. The State’s Commissioner for
Works and Infrastructure, Mr Ade Akinsanya, in a statement appealed for the
cooperation, support and understanding of all motorists and residents during the
closure.
Akinsanya said: “The 3rd Mainland Bridge which was opened about 30 years ago
by the then military government has had haphazard maintenance and repairs in the
past which the present Federal Government is committed to correct by carrying
out proper and continuous maintenance and repairs on it.”
The four-day closure, according to Akinsanya, was to enable the contractors
to assess the true state of the bridge after which works would commence by the
end of the year (2018) or early in 2019.
Let’s hope it doesn’t collapse… And pray the government responds swiftly.
