Repair works on 3rd mainland bridge from July 1st to Nov. 6th 2012. Heavy traffic expected

The above poster has been placed on 3rd mainland bridge to notify motorists of planned repairs on the 3rd mainland bridge which is slated to begin on the 1st of July and end in November 2012. 

I remember the last time this happened, traffic was so heavy on Ikorodu road that people had to leave the mainland and early as 4am if they intend to get to the Island before 10am everyday. 

I hope doesn't get that bad this time around. Welcome to the torture of that mad traffic (sing it like guaranty trust bank jingle lol)
