The federal government said it’s gearing up to install closed-circuit television and solar lights on Third Mainland Bridge, in Lagos State.
This, was conveyed by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, after leading a routine inspection of the under-deck project at Iddo Bridge, Carter Bridge, and the Third Mainland bridges.
The minister said both projects: the CCTV and the solar lights, will come in place by June, adding that they would serve the purpose of checking the activities of illegal miners in the infrastructure.
In his general remark, Umahi said, “Berger is the contractor doing the Iddo Bridge, Carter Bridge, and Third Mainland Bridge, and we have seen the pace of work made and are happy with it, also we have promised to increase the pace of work against the incoming lagoon tide in June.
“On top of the bridges, we have almost finished the deck job, though we are extending the deck job, and then we are also constructing CCTV and observation room. Then, below the deck, we are working on the piers, and then, we now see the pier caps. These are the works that are going on under the deck.”
