The Federal Government has expressed concern about excessive speed by motorists on the newly rehabilitated Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.
The Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi, expressed the concern in Lagos at a stakeholder engagement on Phase One and Phase Two of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project.
He spoke on rehabilitation efforts on key bridges in Lagos State, specifically Third Mainland Bridge, Carter Bridge, and Eko Bridge.
The minister urged motorists to avoid excessive speed on the bridge to discourage the government from considering the installation of speed bumps.
Umahi said, “We have to talk to our people. The speed there is terrible. If we put speed bumps in, then it is going to create heavy hold-up on the bridge.”
The minister said that the government had installed Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras on the bridge and under it, adding that they would soon be inaugurated. (Vanguard)
