SCENE 3:
Motorists from Lagos Mainland going through Herbert Macaulay Road (Adekunle axis) inwards Lagos Island via the 3rd Mainland Bridge will be diverted towards Muritala Mohammed Way to use Carter Bridge to link Lagos Island.
The Commissioner confirmed that traffic personnel have been deployed to man the various alternative routes, while motorists are enjoined to cooperate with them, exercise patience and observe safety measures during the palliative works.
Osiyemi however said motorists going outward Lagos Island are free to navigate the 3rd Mainland Bridge since only the inward traffic will be affected by the temporary closure.
