The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the award of a N42 billion contract to CHINA Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) for the repair of Third Mainland Bridge’s damaged loops and ramps, along with rehabilitating the Adeniji-Falomo roads.

The development was one of the key decisions reached during the FEC meeting, presided over by President Bola Tinubu, in Abuja on Monday, as contained in a statement posted on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy.

The repairs aim to improve the structural integrity of the bridge and reduce traffic congestion in key areas of Lagos.

“Messrs CCECC Nigeria will repair the damaged loops and ramps of the Third Mainland Bridge superstructure and rehabilitate the Adeniji-Falomo Roads for N42 billion. Completion will take six months,” statement reads in part.
