Nigerian Government Approves N23billion for Third Mainland Bridge Maintenance 

The Federal Government approved the total sum of N23.33bn for surface maintenance of the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos State, as well as the augmentation of the contract sum for the old Enugu-Anambra road project. <br />The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, says the 24-month repair would cover 11 kilometres, including interchanges, ramps, and critical links. <br />He says the move aligns with Executive Order 11, signed by President, Muhammadu Buhari in April 2022, which gave legal backing to the country’s national maintenance policy. <br />The announcement came barely two weeks after the Lagos State Government said it would rehabilitate the 32-year-old bridge to repair failed and peeled asphaltic sections and substructure.
