And President Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and President Nnamdi Cownu who all combined together to build the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge. Even Pastor Adeboye cannot cure your madness.
Thank you and God bless.

1. The Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge connects the Phase 1 area, of Lekki with the Ikoyi axis of Lagos.

2. The Bridge spans a length of 1.36 km (635m).

3. The Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge. It is the first of its kind cable-stayed pylon bridge in Nigeria. A cable-stayed bridge is a bridge in which the weight of the deck is supported by a number of cables running directly to one or more towers.

4. The Bridge has a Height pylon of 50m; and has 37 piers.

5. Lagos State Governor, Raji Fashola awarded the contract for the construction of the Bridge to Messrs Julius Berger on March 13, 2009, while work started on the site on May 11, 2009.

6. The bridge was constructed by Julius Berger Nigeria, though the field service was contracted to PERI Frankfurt (Export Division Nigeria) and PERI Weissenhorn, Germany.

7. The then Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola commissioned the bridge on Democracy day (29th of May 2013) and the commemoration of his sixth year administration in Lagos.

8. The Bridge was officially opened to the public on June 1, 2013.

9. The bridge has a 9-metre headroom above water level in order to allow for the flow of maritime traffic.

10. The bridge is a toll bridge.

11. The tollgate is located at the Lekki end of the bridge.

12. At inception, the categories of toll paid at the bridge are: Class 1: Saloon cars (N250), Class 11: Mini-vans, SUVs and light pick-up trucks (N300), Class 111: Non-commercial buses with maximum seating capacity of 26 person and Class 1V: Motorcycles with 200CC capacity and above (N100).

13. On Thursday, February 1, 2018, the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge commenced a new price regime. Class 1: Saloon cars (N N300), Class 11: Mini-vans, SUVs and light pick-up trucks (N400), heavy duty trucks/buses with two or more heavy axles will attract N1,000; Motorcycles with 200CC capacity and above (N200), etc.

14. Commercial vehicles (Okada, Keke Marwa, Danfo and vehicles with a total seating capacity exceeding 26) are restricted from using the bridge. Also restricted from using the bridge are heavy-duty trucks and articulated trucks.

15. The bridge also serves as a recreational facility. Fitness enthusiast who reside within the Lekki phase 1 and Ikoyi axis use the wide curbs of the bridge for jogging and running. Even Mack Zuckerberg jogged on this bridge when he visited Nigeria.

16. Tolling at the Bridge has been plagued with controversies. For instance, some Lagosians believe that since the bridge was built with public funds, its use should be available at no cost. However, the Lagos State government argues that the collection of tolls is not only required to maintain the bridge but also to generate funds for building other bridges to link parts of Lagos.

17. The Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge provides an alternative route in order to escape the Lekki and Ozumba Nbadiwe traffic gridlocks.

18. The waterway above which the bridge is built is owned and controlled by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

19. During the commissioning, Gov. Fashola paid glowing tributes to late President Musa Yar’Adua for making the project a reality. Fashola referred to the late President as “the first builder of the bridge”.


20. The Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge was built at a cost of N29Billion.

welcome to Lagos state where minor projects are hailed as big project. A bridge is being celebrated embarassed embarassed embarassed. By now, Lagos states is suppose to have a train system as efficient as New York City/London or as decent as Johannesburg. I keep saying that Lagos of Abacha times was at least better than the Lagos of today. Congestion does not make sense on weekdays, going to work can be a stressor/irritants and adder to hypertension. One has to be on a special kind of drugs to drive in Lagos. Lagos is so overrated, no disrespect to Hardworking men and women of Lagos states who get to work and live in horrible system of government . A city that some areas cannot see electricity for weeks is not a city but accumulation of slums. Fashola tried, Ambode I am still watching. Some areas that refused to vote for Ambode for governor do not get to see roads fixed and get punished with no lights in some areas. let us not talk about Nepa, Nepa has gotten worse since 1980s, generators are not the answers. Lagos state is a state that is called a center of excellence but reality is a center of mediocre. The airport is a mess, I hate travelling to MMA , it is either I get harassed by the well paid customs for some pocket money or some olopa who just want beer parlor enjoyment. Please tell the Lagos State Government that some part never see lights for weeks and Oshodi, Mushin, Agege is also part of Lagos that is seriously neglected .

would u keep shut......... even in Europe, china and U. S. with all the money and high taxes, they still toll roads. This is one of the reasons Nigeria can't progress, the citizens want everything for free.

The function of cable stays in suspension bridges is to allow for having wider spans without column support. If you check the bridge properly, you will notice that column spacing is greater where the cable stays are located.

There's nothing spectacular about this bridge. Compare with the likes of carter bridge and co. Just that little so called design. We dey forbid double decker bridge? Our sense of design is still very poor. Not even a subway or a lagoon subway yet. We build 1km bridges with bloated budget sad

there's always a limit to the weight any cable suspended bridge can hold, those cable slays might hold a little or not weight but trust me that little weight si more than enough to throw that bridge into the water. You can pm me for CALCULATIONS on how that was resolved. Strength of materials will definitely prove that
