They would have done this during the whole 4 or 5 months sit at home, leaders without foresight.

I am on the island, working from home since March. I want to get away next weekend so I will do Lekki - Epe- ijebu ode-sagamu-ibadan. Same route while coming back. My strategy has been more on how I travel outside Lagos through the airport at ikeja and I have resolved that I will leave island the day before, stay in a hotel close to the airport, I usually do Ibis, and then get into the airport early. Most important is the need to ensure that I do not travel except it is absolutely necessary. In my head there are not more than 3 more trips till end of year...one trip to Abuja soon, new yam festival in September and Christmas trip.

Can someone please confirm whether those hotels are now operational? I have been having limited contact with civilization...I drink at home or an estate bar, buy from the supermarket and generally stay indoors. This scam will soon be managed by God's grace.

I think Ibis were among the hotels they closed down along the Airport road. You can access the likes of Swiss International, Rollex and Parklane that are stone throw inside the Estate.

Stay safe!

They close it every 3months for repairs. They couldn't construct such yet its hard for d civilian coconut head to maintain it.

This closure is for the benefit of everyone. If the bridge collapses, they would start blaming government.

What is d standard universal practice of carrying out maintenance of bridges worldwide?

I like how you said repair and not just a check up. I don't think you can blame anyone for both bridges being faulty around thesame time

Yes we know but can't they use their senses? I doubt if they still have some remaining in their brain. Why didn't they do this during lockdown? Truly this government lacks wisdom

Re: 3rd Mainland Bridge Closure, Please Share Your Experience And Alternative Routes by dotun365: 5:41pm On Jul 24, 2020

they explained that some of the equipments and some of the personeel couldn't be around during the lockdown.

The bridge has not been maintained since it's inception in 1990. It doesn't just need a routine maintenance but more like an overhaul. The joints are already in disarray. It's better they do this now.

Don't conclude. Most of the materials were imported from Germany. The covid-19 really delayed the whole thing. With or without covid-19, they would still close the bridge for 6months.
Let's live with it, it would be very tough though.
