Bold idea, the governor should try to make it real. Do what ever it takes even if it requires concessionaire but achieve it within your two terms. |

Harwoyeez:The state govt can advise Its financiers that some projects are more sensible than one. I have a car, if someone wants to buy one for me or dash/lend me money to buy a bigger or better car that will over the decades need to be replaced by the 5th mainland car, I'll ask the person to build a house for me or start a nice venture. To be honest with my thoughts, all parties involved in this.. ..State govt, consortium bodies, financial houses, all...are just there for the loot .No Cynism Imagine that money going into Real estates, the government will make back that capital in a few years and the city will be better structurally economically and aesthetically 1 Like |

Waspy: the bridge is important...... it will foster the opening up and development of the ikorodu-lekki axis. it will also reduce the length of time people get stuck in Lagos traffic..... the bridge also has a rail line for future use.... govt has no business building industries..... they should leave that to private investors.... dangote is already building a refinery which is a better alternative to the govt comatose ones..... it's not all the time we exhibit cynicism. however, I believe the cost is somewhat on the high side..... that amount is like 3 billion dollars..... that should be one of the most expensive bridges in the world.... and for a 37km length bridge, that's pretty expensive..... the cost should be reviewed but the project should not be abandoned. |

SIRTee15: I actually agree with him For a start it is so expensive that it may end up as an abandoned project, causing hardship to people living in the area We need power With power, manufacturing can be revived and things begin to work again A lot of go slow is caused by bad roads and illegal bustops Let them fix the bad roads and see traffic flow freely We all remember the hours of gridlock on the Lagos ibadan express way due to that pot hole just before MFN Once roads are fixed, a lot of congestion will be eliminated/reduced |

opalu:You're very correct sir. Shallower depths also increase savings in bridge construction. The third mainland bridge was erected along the shallows of the lagoon. Longer spans greatly reduce number and cost of pilings and construction time. I feel compensation for demolitions is such a huge chunk of cost at times even. When Kainji dam was constructed in mid sixties, the lake formed would flood the thousands inhabitants of Busa, they were compensated and relocated with a quarter of the Project cost of over $200 million. |
Re: The Proposed 4th Mainland Bridge: Top 10 Facts You Should Know by SIRTee15: 8:56am On Aug 10, 2016 |
tearoses: the construction of that bridge will accelerate the development of eastern part of Lagos..... what Lagos need is decongestion, there's so much pressure on infrastructure in Lagos mainland and the island. adding more infrastructure to those areas will only worsen the situation as more population will move in to utilize such facilities. beside Lagos mainland is poorly planned and very disorderly. any attempt at proper urbanisation of these areas will come at enormous cost n sacrifice that neither the govt nor the citizen can bare. the solution is redirecting the development of new Lagos from those areas towards virgin places in Lagos, n that's exactly what the bridge will do to the ikorodu-epe axis of Lagos. it's a new area thus it can be planned properly, giving it a befitting modern aesthetic look. people will stop waking up at 4am because they work on the island. there will also be less pressure on infrastructure in Lagos generally since there will be a balance distribution of people in the state. construction of the Lagos-ibadan is already ongoing so I don't get your point about gridlock at mfm. besides, that will not prevent the traffic jam btw mainland n the island. what can put an end to that is either construction of a new bridge or a railway system. u and the other guy are both looking at the present, it's imperative we start focussing on the future. there's nothing so special about the present Lagos.... when foreigners visit Lagos, they are mostly dissapointed. that's why laudable project like this and eko Atlantic City should be supported. the UK govt used the 2012 Olympics to develop the swampy area of east London...... when I visited the place early this year, I was very impressed. I find all these noise about power, industries, refinery, manufacturing, bla.... bla... bla... at mere attempt at playing to gallery. people always raise this dust anytime somebody wants to do something real that they disagree with. open a thread on power, then we can discuss it, this thread is about 4th mainland bridge. and for ur info Nigeria has spent over a trillion naira on darkness since the inception of these republic. so there's no guarantee that if the 800 billion is diverted to power u will witness any 24 hrs electricity. |

Waspy: 1. The bolded captures it 2. This project captures different value streams from the ones you mentioned. All are needed to complement each other |
Re: The Proposed 4th Mainland Bridge: Top 10 Facts You Should Know by mapet: 9:23am On Aug 10, 2016 |
prosperity2016: 1. So it is not instructive to you that this is a state project, funded by state and private sector. You must always wait for FG to spoon-feed you because you have oil? 2.Unfortunately, if your senseless rants and emotion are a reflection of your leaders, then I'm afraid 25-40years from now, other states would be long gone in developing their cities through their self effort and yours will still be lamenting as you're doing now |
Re: The Proposed 4th Mainland Bridge: Top 10 Facts You Should Know by mapet: 9:29am On Aug 10, 2016 |
tplacid:\ Bros, Your candid opinion is so limited. It would have been credible if you were addressing a state where all you mention is not currently being done. If you broaden your horizon, you will see the impact and value of the bridge. Cities needs to be built. Cities are not static monuments, they need to develop. When you build bridges, you connect people. There is a huge span of industries you open up by connecting people. Imagine how many industries, houses, trades and commerce you open up in Ikorodu - Langbasa axis just because of this bridge |
Re: The Proposed 4th Mainland Bridge: Top 10 Facts You Should Know by Nobody: 10:10am On Aug 10, 2016 |
SIRTee15: Please don't compare the Uk with Nigeria I'm being realistic. The island is the island and people who want to live or do business on the island will continue to do so and will not move out regardless of any 4th bridge The bridge is mostly only going to benefit commuters who live in these areas and work on the island East London is still East London. What they mostly built in the areas you mentioned was housing for Londons growing population The mfm traffic i refer to was a couple of years ago In a way you have buttressed my point without realising it How long did the Lagos ibadan expressway take to complete? That road has been in progress since I was a kid. The badagry Mile 2 road had been under construction for years Last week I spent 2 hours from volks to trade fair, which is ordinarily a 5 minute journey because of pot holes in the road If the govt has money they should Fix the existing roads rather than build a road that will only serve an area assuming the road ever gets finished. An unfinished abandoned project is hell for the people who have to ply that road. The ona baba ona Oshogbo-Gbongan road is a good example. Building a road does not always change the status of a place. What is the state of security in Ikorodu? What is the road from Ikorodu to other major towns like? E,g Ibadan Next time you are caught in traffic take time to work out what actually caused it. It's bus stops or pot holes |

I am shocked that in 2016 we are still thinking of 4-lane anything. If we estimate an increase in population thus an increase in traffic won't an 8-Lane either side bridge with rail and BRT inclusive be better? I feel we shd do things that are globally standard and perish these mediocre ways. |

Waspy: 1. http://www.nleworks.com/case/4th-mainland-bridge-masterplan/ - Savour the pictorial depiction of the project 2. There is no gainsaying the fact that huge benefits will be derived from this project but most importantly, make life more comfortable for Lagosians .....http://dailypost.ng/2016/05/25/full-text-of-governor-ambodes-remarks-at-signing-of-mou-for-4th-mainland-bridge/ 3. peaking at the signing of the MoU held at the Banquet Hall, Lagos House, Ikeja, State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, said that the need for the bridge had become imperative following the phenomenal growth of the State with a population of over 21 million people, which has in turn increased commercial activities and traffic gridlock.http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/2016/05/25/lagos-signs-n844bn-mou-on-4th-mainland-bridge/ 4. The present Lagos transportation system is unarguably chaotic but it is comforting that a 14-year-old dream targeted at relieving intra-state travel pains is coming to reality. With the proposed 38 kilometre-long Fourth Mainland Bridge which will also complement the rapidly expanding industrial activities in the Eti Osa-Lekki-Epe corridor of the state, life should be better for Lagosians. |

tplacid: Enough supporting PDP or APC. These Old corrupt men do not care about anyone else. We also are not helping the matter by supporting corruption. There is an emergence of revolution - *The New Nigeria Vanguard!* While many of us are sitting down by our keyboards complaining, other young, intelligent and resourceful Nigerians have begun taking steps. *We have no affiliations or sponsors* We are young Nigerians who will defy the anomaly.
