Lagos To Construct Additional Pedestrian Bridge At Ojota by winkmart: 6:16am On Apr 15, 2016
The Lagos State Government has announced that an additional foot bridge would be constructed at Ojota bus stop on Ikorodu road, to complement the existing one in order to contain the recent upsurge in usage by Pedestrians.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, said the decision arose out of the need to reduce the long time being currently spent on the queue by people using the bridge.

He said the construction of the additional bridge has become necessary after the newly erected New Jersey Wall on the median of the expressway has effectively curtailed indiscriminate dropping and picking of passengers along the highway as well as dangerous crossing of the road on foot by commuters.

He reiterated that the need for the construction of the wall, which is similar to the same measure taken between Ketu and Mile 12 axis of the road is meant to reduce fatalities on the part of commuters crossing the highway and the traffic gridlock caused by commercial buses and motorcycles engaging in indiscriminate dropping and picking of passengers.

While commending the orderly conduct of commuters in the usage of the bridge, the statement urged them to be patient with government until the new one is constructed, adding that the project is expected to be delivered within three months.

Ayorinde added that the new bridge will accommodate the special needs of the physically challenged, for their ease of movement.

Why waste money on pedestrian bridges on a busy road . Save more money and be more disabled people friendly by creating a pelican crossing instead. It is within a built-up area for God's sake.

People will always complain.
No bridge they will complain.

Meanwhile their governor in Ekiti is busy buying fish in the market and they call him "role model"

Why not explain what a pelican crossing is. And show us some pictures to reinforce your points.

Just looked up pelican crossing.

It doesn't make sense for an highway.

We are having a traffic problem in Lagos, installation of a pelican crossing on a very busy highway will be very senseless and irresponsible.

A well designed bridge wth disabled facilities just as LASG said they would do should solve the issue. I wonder how you missed the part where LASG said the new bridge will have facilities for the disabled.

Something similar or better than the pedestrian bridge at CMS. There is also huge pedestrian traffic at CMS.

I think something close to pelican crossing is on Maryland bridge, but not sure if the lights for pedestrians is still working sef.

That bridge is another dangerous structure in ojota . there is no space , no illumination at night and it was not even design to handle the amount of people walking on it as we can see currently .


I stopped using that bridge not for the long queue but for the fear of sudden collapse .

This man has been impressive. Street lights, ongoing construction of over head bridges and roads, rebranding RSS.hope he continues like this till the end.

I like fact that he does not have time lamenting or participating in party and federal issues, onlike some governors who keep attacking the fed govt, yet ve done lil or nothing 4 der state.
