A major step towards the realisation of the 4th Mainland Bridge was today, taken by the State Government with the first stakeholders meeting on Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the construction and launch of the Bridge’s logo.

Speaking at the meeting, Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, described the event as a significant one in the joint effort to change the narrative of the socio-economic development of the State, through the provision of critical infrastructure for sustainable prosperity. The Governor emphasised that the proposed Fourth Mainland Bridge has been well integrated into the overall Lagos Master Plan in relation to transportation infrastructure, adding that the project allows for the first time, direct access from the large suburb of Ikorodu to the Island and the Lekki Free Trade Zone area.

While noting that the present administration has left no stone unturned in ensuring that the strategic project becomes a reality, Sanwo-Olu disclosed that the State government reactivated the construction of the bridge in October 2019 with the development of a six-step process that will lead to the selection of a suitable concessionaire in line with global best practices.

He emphasised that the stakeholder-engagement and consultation on Environmental and Social Impact Assessment was a precursor to the third step, which will involve issuing a “Request for Proposal” to the six consortia for the presentation of their respective financial proposals and methodologies for carrying out the project.

According to him, “The stakeholders’ meeting was organised to open the project to further inputs, comments, ideas and observations for incorporation into the ongoing social and environmental impact assessment. We hope the meeting would boost the acceptability and implementation ratings of the 4th Mainland Bridge in line with global best practices”.


In her welcome address, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Aramide Adeyoye stated that the meeting was another bold step by the present administration towards ensuring the buy-in of Lagosians into the government project and another fulfilment of the promise of Mr. Governor to adopt inclusiveness as a tool for governance.

She explained that as the primary coordinator for the project, the Ministry has arranged a number of meetings with the relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the State to inform all stakeholders and foster progress on the project.

In his goodwill message, the Minister for Works and Housing and former Governor of the State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, represented by Dr. Adetunji Adeoye, commended Lagos for the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge, adding that the construction will create a lot of activities and job opportunities for residents.

He, therefore, assured the people and government of Lagos State of his unalloyed support towards the construction of the bridge.

The Minister of State for the Environment, represented by Mrs. Oluwatoyin Agbenla, described the Fourth Mainland Bridge as an endearing project to the citizens, which will be executed with the highest levels of environmental sustainability.

The Fourth Mainland Bridge is a 37.4km freeway subdivided into three sections namely Island Section, Lagoon Section and Mainland Section. It will commence from Abraham Adesanya Roundabout in Lekki through Ajah and Langbasa areas, crossing the Ado Badore Road before arriving at the Lagoon shoreline.

The road crosses the Lagoon via a 4.5km Lagoon Bridge landing between Bayeku and Ijede villages, passing through Ikorodu-Epe expressway to further link Isawo Road and from there to Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.

Otedola is coming from where to where?



These people. Have they finished the lagos to Badagry railroad? Once a while I see them patching and destroying then rebuilding the roads. Some times they even leave the roads like that. Imagine a project that hasn't been completed but already started decaying. People along the Ojo Alaba axis , badagry, Orile can testify to what's happening there. If you are not ready to finish a project... why start it and be breaking things?
Since Fashola's 1st year in office they have been building that road o. This country needs serious prayer

here we go...........


nice move..

MIV

Ok

Fraudulent liars!


Like you delivered the light rails since 2009

...........commended Lagos for the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge, adding that the construction will create a lot of activities and job opportunities for residents.

We will be waiting patiently for this laudable and massive project.

God bless Sanwo-olu.
God bless Lagos State.
God bless Nigeria.

As much as the idea sounds great, its also an avenue to enrich their pocket..

Ajibel:

If they don't build it, you'll say the government is not living up to their responsibility. Now they plan to do, you're accusing them of wanting to use this project to loot.

What do some of you Nigerians want?

Those are the ones we refer to as Children of hate, frustration and perdition.
The enemies of the country that do not want any iota of progress in our nation.
All they want us chaos and unrest.
They hate any positive news.
Pathetic souls they are.


At this point, you pity them.
You realize that they need prayers.
They hate everything good.
They hate anything uplifting.
They hate development.
They hate their country.
They even hate themselves.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Wow.

I cannor wait for this project to be completed

If Lagos is functioning with the 3rd mainland bridge closed right now, I think the 4th main bridge is not essential

$2.2billion will be taken as a loan which is not sustainable

Spend $100m on public transit, waterways transport, efficient traffic lights, road repairs and electronic traffic monitoring

FILEBE:


Otedola is coming from where?

From his house o
