The Minister of Works, Mr David Umahi, on Saturday, said comprehensive rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos would begin on Wednesday.
The exercise will last for three months.
Umahi spoke during an inspection of the under deck, lagoon sections of the Third Mainland Bridge and other bridges.
The former governor, a team of engineers, directors of the Federal Ministry of Works and journalists inspected the lagoon sections of the Third Mainland, Carter, Independence and Falomo Bridges.
Umahi also inspected the Marina Bridge in Apapa.
He said the entire stretch of the Third Mainland Bridge would undergo total resurfacing with minimal discomfort to road users, and the repairs would be carried out by midnight during the weekend.
The minister said he carried out inspection of the top surface of the bridge on Friday before embarking on inspection of the Lagoon portions.
