ZACHIE:Is it by force to use the bridge There is a cheaper tolled route and a free route. If you can't afford it, drive past it, admire it and go take the cheaper or free route!!! What's so hard to understand there?? 3 Likes |

berem: @ naptu, am very angry with the moderators for their refusal to move that inspirational thread to front page after pleading with them to do so. So much could be learnt from that story but instead they prefer to put Tonto Dike frying akara or MC Weird not getting married on front page. smh I just sent a message to the supermod. Hopefully it will get there. |

I forgot, in the speech the governor also said that the construction of the bridge was an opportunity for knowledge sharing. He said representatives from the Nigerian Society of Engineers and students from engineering colleges (he mentioned them, but I've forgotten the names) inspected the project and were part of the different stages of the construction of the bridge. By the way, I think we'll actually have a fourth mainland bridge before the Badore-Ikorodu bridge, because I think the Lagoon Bridge will be completed before then. |

What's so hard to understand there?? Most of them have absolutely nothing or no reason whatsoever to use the bridge ...its all about negatively painting the govt laudable achievements even when there is no obvious reason to do such.. |

soledayo: You don't have to get on that bridge to enjoy the effects of your tax money because what other people are paying for using this bridge funds other government programs and responsibilities like schools, hospitals, roads, utilities and so on.... Btw, you still have free access to other tax payer funded routes and alternates... . |

ZACHIE: You still don't get it...do you? The so called indigents have other alternatives...it's not a MUST they use the bridge. Those that pay over a thousand Naira daily at the Tarzan jetty for daily crossing to the other side via ferry won't complain. |

ilugunboy:I even think its the operators of the Tarzan Jetty that should be here complaining because they've just given their patrons a far cheaper means of avoiding traffic. |

The indigent few? Obviously you do not know my neighbourhood. The indigent few do not have cars, so they'll use commercial buses. Commercial buses have never been allowed into Lekki Phase 1 (at least not since 1993 when I started monitoring things here). Taxis are not allowed in after 6pm. Commercial buses use the alternative route (toll free) or the expressway (cheaper tolls). |

I bet..most of these people shouting hoarse here don't even know a jack about the objectives of building that bridge in the first place. |

Eko Atlantic: Ajumobi is commissioning, Fashola is commissioning, jonathan is delivering speech. Ajimobi is comissioning a super-suspended wooden bench not a bridge... Effect the correction immediately. |

ilugunboy:Those Danfo drivers gotta bring their Gala, Paraga, cigarette, kolanut selling girlfriends along. And they'll be emergency bustops, hold-ups and soon a small market will pop-up in Lekki Phase 1. Fashola will then get pissed and clear em out........Which will lead us back to dudes opening threads on Nairaland saying "Fashola is anti-poor" and "Fashola declares war on the poor". 2 Likes |

ilugunboy: Correct .... and that makes this forum tediously repetitive and imbecilic when it should be an arena of ideas. In 2011, members of Nigeriavillagesquare.com, a Nigerian blog site like Nairaland, were busy interviewing Buhari, Ribadu , Momodu et al while this place was bogged down in pettiness. Some of us would certainly wish this forum develop optimally as an arena of ideas but this will not happen till there is a consistent and united effort to shut down ethnic bigots, nuisance posters and worthless spammers who never have anything positive to contribute to discussions. 2 Likes |

Latest update: There's a crowd of young people at the office beside the bridge. I think they are hiring toll collectors. They are working on the canal at the end of Admiralty Road (the junction between Admiralty Road and Itedo Street). That section of Admiralty Road has been closed to traffic, but you can go around it by taking the last turning on the right. I think they want to extend the canal to the lagoon. There was a New Towns Development Authority pickup truck on Itedo Street with lots of policemen in it. Someone in the truck was making an announcement over a loudspeaker, telling owners of shacks, stalls and shanties that had been built on the road setback to relocate because the task force would come at a later time to demolish everything on the road setback. I gathered that they've been making this same announcement for about a week now. Some people had already started dismantling their shops. I guess they want to expand and fix the road (portions of that road are in a terrible state). Remember that, during the commissioning, the governor said that they would fix the road behind the third roundabout so that motorists from Ajah would be able to use the bridge, rather than using the expressway. |

FASHOLA is running Lagos ,the way Nigeria should be run. Lagos has population, high-income areas,low income areas etc. With Beach,banks,fun spots all clustered in and around Island. Fashola is harnessing accruable resources from these areas to take care of low-income areas like Mushin. Conveniency services like the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge is being tolled to recoup investment and increase thet state's IGR. If GEJ can be such business-minded, refineries will be built to discourage fuel importation and its attendant subsidy fraud. Lagos-Ibadan and other important highways will be expanded with light rail in the middle and tolled to recoup investment. All IOCs in the country will be forced to pay tax as is being done in their respective countries. Our dependence on Oil revenue would have reduced drastically opening new ways of revenue accrual to the Govt. 6 Likes |

Re: Fashola Commissions Lekki-ikoyi Link Bridge. PICS by naptu2: 6:08am On May 31, 2013 |
porka: Bravo to Governor Fashola and his team. The Lekki Expressway is an eight lane expressway. The toll free alternative route has 4 lanes in some sections (eg Water Corporation Drive, Oba Yesufu Oniru Road) and two lanes in some sections (New Market Road). The bridge is a premium bridge meant to reduce pressure on those two access ways. The main access way will still be the expressway. The bridge is just an alternative (that's why it has higher tolls than the expressway). It doesn't need to have more than four lanes (bear in mind that there's also the people and car ferry and the green line will be built in some year's time). |

I tried to use the bridge to beat the terrible go-slow at Rewane/Kingsway Road on my way to Lekki last night. To my shock (and am sure many other 'smart-alecs' like myself), the bridge was closed! Is it fully open now? |
Re: Fashola Commissions Lekki-ikoyi Link Bridge. PICS by johnie: 5:38pm On May 31, 2013 |
naptu2: I forgot. He also said the bridge will be opened to the public on June 1st, when the tents and other things used during the commissioning would have been removed[/i]. I just saw this now. [i]Na so the party sweet reach? |
