The Senate President, David Mark, has warned that the Lagos Third Mainland Bridge would be a major national disaster if allowed to collapse
This is as the Senate will today debate a motion on the imminent collapse on the bridge which the Senator described as an important edifice noting that its collapse will be a major catastrophe, as many lives may be lost.
The third Mainland Bridge measured 11.8km and connected the Mainland to
Lagos Island. The bridge is a major escape route from traffic snarl on Western Avenueto the Island and was commissioned by former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, in 1990.
The Federal Ministry of works completed repair works on the bridge last Octob
er, after its closure to motorists and commuters for over four months. At the plenary session on Wednesday, Senator Gbenga Ashafa from Lagos East raised a point of order to bring to the attention of the Senate the state of the bridge, adding that h
e would want an urgent remedial measure to be taken. He said the consultant who carried out the post-assessment of the repair works of the bridge discovered that the repair work on its foundation was not properly done.
