Only in Lagos you can see this...Itesiwaju eko.Opposition party is dead in Lagos.

That is because the ruling party is working....besides, with the kind of money lagos is making from within, the Govt has no excuse not to do anything. The state can even survive perfectly well without federal govt allocation.

They could have made the bridge shorter and saved a lot of money.

It would mean demolishing those houses there.
No road connectivity there and they can't demolish people's houses till it connects to the major road.

You will still come to Nairaland to cry foul if they had demolished houses.

Looks like Precast concrete

But the footings had to be built, cofferdam and shytts like that


The world uses precast slabs these days , it's faster and i think it's cheaper
lol, u must be a graduate student to even think it must be precast. Which bridge was ever built cast-in-situ?? Where will they find space for mixing or concrete??

so many considerations were taken into account before they decided to ditch your theory....soil testing and availability of adequate space is taken into account.

AutoReportNG:
The Lekki-Ikoyi bridge was built and commissioned by former Lagos State Gov, Mr. Babatunde Fashola on 29th of May 2013, the bridge is said to be an impressive pylon and cable-stayed construction, a technology never before used in Nigeria, the modern landmark connects two highly frequented districts – providing considerable relief to existing traffic routes in the economic center of Nigeria.

The bridge is the first cable-stayed bridge to be built in Nigeria and was constructed by Julius Berger Nigeria. The bridge has a 9-metre headroom above the water level in order to allow for the flow of maritime traffic.

The bridge has become sort of celebrities bridge as you are bound to meet some celebrities on this bridge early in the morning doing their exercise, it was so unique that even Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg was pictured jogging along this bridge when he was in Lagos, faces like Mo Abudu, the CEO of Ebonylife, the MD/CEO of various banks use this bridge as their one-stop place for exercise.

As beautiful as this bridge is, no one knows how strenuous it is to get this edifice in place, according to Julius Berger, it was a difficult one coming to this type of bridge as it is new in the country, no state has ever built anything close to this cable-style bridge before. We are able to get the behind the scene pictures of how this bridge was built and some other works.

Well you're correct on the suggestion. However ,construction of such edifice not only done on its cost but its economic value.
If you can check the pic better you'll realise they connect it directly to main lane.
Also, your spot will be distractous to lot of properties Cox of new roads...

Do you think they didn't consider that angle. It's obviously cheaper to make the bridge longer than to compensate those strictures to be demolished on the island.
