Contrary to the fearful messages going on social media regarding the safety of third mainland bridge in Lagos, the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing has confirmed the bridge is safe to use.
The special adviser to the ministry, Hakeem Bello, revealed this with an attached video of an underwater test on the bridge. He said the expansion joints speculated to be dangerous were among the repairs which should commence soon.
All the tests were done ahead of the bridge’s closure for maintenance, but the tests indicate that the integrity of the bridge is intact.
