The Federal Government, through the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, has commissioned a new Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) monitoring centre for the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos
During the commissioning, Umahi described the facility as a major safety and infrastructure upgrade, part of President Bola Tinubu’s directive to rehabilitate and secure critical federal bridges nationwide.
The monitoring centre features high-definition CCTV cameras covering both the bridge deck and underwater sections, a dedicated surveillance boat, and two operational Hilux vehicles to support monitoring and rapid response.
According to the minister, the CCTV system is designed to control speeding, prevent traffic obstructions, curb vehicle fires, and deter suicide attempts on the bridge. The system will allow real-time monitoring, with designated lay-bys enabling law enforcement to act without disrupting traffic flow.
Umahi also confirmed that the government has no plans to toll the rehabilitated Third Mainland Bridge.
