China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) has been awarded a six-month, N42 billion contract to repair the Third Mainland Bridge’s damaged loops and ramps, along with rehabilitating the Adeniji-Falomo Roads.
The development is one of the key decisions reached during the latest Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, presided over by President Bola Tinubu, in Abuja on Monday, as contained in a statement posted on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy.
The repairs aim to improve the structural integrity of the bridge and reduce traffic congestion in these key areas of Lagos.
“Messrs CCECC Nigeria will repair the damaged loops and ramps of the Third Mainland Bridge superstructure and rehabilitate the Adeniji-Falomo Roads for N42 billion. Completion will take six months,” a portion of the statement read.
These rehabilitation projects are expected to significantly improve road safety and traffic flow on one of Lagos’ busiest transport routes, which connects the mainland to the island.
