    FG to start repairs of third Mainland Bridge expansion joints Jan, 2019

    Major repairs of all expansion joints of the popular Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos will commence in January 2019.

    According to the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mr. Adedamola Kuti, the contractor will move to site next month.

    Speaking with newsmen on the bridge at the weekend, Kuti also disclosed that thereafter, the renovation work would begin on the underwater repair of the piles supporting the bridge.

    Presently, the Federal Controller of Works said that milling and resurfacing work of the bridge was already on-going to ensure a hitch-free movement during Christmas celebration. The contract was awarded to Reynolds Construction Company (RCC).

    According to him, the milling and resurfacing was not part of the original contract for the renovation of the bridge, but that government embarked on it to ensure easy movement and safety of the 11.4-kilomtre bridge.

    Kuti said the resurfacing was part of a maintenance exercise to keep the over 25-year-old bridge in tip-top condition

    The Project Manager, RCC, Dvir Hirsch, said the challenge for the project bordered on traffic and safety in order to ensure faster delivery of the job.

    Meanwhile the Federal Government has reopened a section of the Ijora -7up Bridge to traffic. The particular section was closed to traffic five months ago to give room for its repairs.

    The reopening of the bridge to traffic was conducted by the Federal Controller of Works. The Managing Director, Hallekem Limited, the contractor that handled the project, Haim Halle, said the firm completed the repair of the 325 meters stretch of the bridge in five months, instead of the one year contract period.
