jason123: Naptu2, from what I can see, the bridge is about 95% complete (including the street lamp). Do you support this assertion? Once again, thanks for the update!

naptu2: That's all for now.

GAR3TH: Nice pictures Naptu2, thanks.

I added some of your photos here

naptu2:

I agree. In fact I think, in the past few weeks, they paid more attention to completing the roundabout on Admiralty Road than they did to completing the bridge.

I think the bridge will be commissioned pretty soon (if everything goes well).

Gbawe:

My brother, thank you for these private pictures. This is what we ask Nigerians to do i.e be the extra arm of Goverment and check its excesses when necessary. If you had not taken time from your schedule to provide these pictures, some haters of Fashola (like edicolove) will be having a wonderful time saying there is no work ongoing on this bridge and that "Fashola has gone to sleep in his second term".

jason123:


You talk of the man that hates the indigenous people in Lagos, just like that?! The man that wants to run Lagos by subjecting the indigenes? Make him catch you!

naptu2: The bridge lands at Admiralty Road (on the Lekki side). I wondered how they'll manage traffic at the junction between the bridge and Admiralty Road. They created a roundabout (traffic circle) so that traffic from the bridge can easily merge with traffic from Admiralty Road.

ahf: Compare this to what Setraco is doing on East-West Road, after they systematically pushed Julius Berger out.

Kudos to LASG. More is still expected.

4th mainland bridge between Epe and Ikorodu would greatly alleviate the traffic on the 3rd Mainland bridge.
Partly concession it if need be, but run a lot of public forums to discuss the modalities and carry the people along.
(Someone please speak to fashola to initiate this, the FG wont be ready to do it)

" A man's work (good or bad) outlives he's actions ..... "

Thumbs up to the governors making a difference (even if they all have skeletons in their cupboards) .... Rivers, Edo, Lagos..... Thumbs Up...

Room for improvement still exists.

johnie:

Please answer this one question. A simple yes or no will do:

Will the bridge be tolled?[color=#990000][/color]

Eko Ile: This bridge is definitely not going to be tolled, it's not a concessioned property, it's a direct contract awarded by the Lagos state government and funded by the Lagos state government.

I don't even know where some get their usual ignorant nonsense from. If it's going to be tolled, where is the toll plaza and government policy about tolling this bridge??

What I'd love to see is some kind of trust fund system in place to make every user contribute some money for proper and professional maintenance of this beautiful infrastructure.

hercules07: If Lagos state is going to embark on a tolled fourth mainland bridge, they might as well add a rail system to it jare, what is worth doing is worth doing well.
