The Federal Government has revealed ongoing efforts to enhance security measures on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, including the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras and solar lights.

Minister of Works, David Umahi, disclosed these developments during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics program.

The initiatives come as part of broader efforts to ensure the safety and security of commuters and combat illegal activities around the bridge area.

The Third Mainland Bridge, a critical infrastructure link in Lagos, has been undergoing repairs in recent weeks, leading to traffic congestion and inconvenience for motorists.

However, Umahi assured that the bridge is set to reopen to the public in the coming days, following the completion of repair works.

He said: “When you talk about the total rehabilitation of the bridge, you talk about the deck.

“Mr President has released the money and I can say that 99 per cent of the project is done. But what is to be done is additional work: we are putting up solar lights; we are replacing the generator lights with solar lights.

“We are putting up CCTV both on top of the bridge and under the bridge because the President told me that part of the problem we are having is people who are doing illegal mining of the sand.

“And I agree with him. I have seen it. They even go as far as even destroying the concrete to anchor their small boats.”
