Only to repair? What if it were to be constructed newly? I laugh in Chinese for my country

dominique:
Dollars not naira?
That's a lot, approx 18bn to repair a bridge. Can't they execute any project in this country without inflating the budget?

that amount can build 100 bridges

Oyindidi:
Quality nko?

3re mainland bridge of of high quality..it's been there for over 40yrs....it's far more expensive than London bridge

Lagos, center of shithole

TheAngry1:
Do we maintain this bridge every 2 years ni?

Just what I was about to type.. I just wonder

Mannylex:
What has happened to the 4the mainland bridge dream

Ambode is a joker.

No civilian government can construct a bridge of that magnitude

If not that the military executed 3MB, it wouldn't be possible

Nigerian leaders are terrible

fineboynl:
Chia another wastage. How come poorer countries are doing fine and better than nigeria? I was in togo lately and i was amazed how beautiful and develop things are over there. Beautiful road and steady eletricity. What happend to ngeria? How come things are so bad over here?

Nigeria and Nigerians are useless

Nigerians feed better when things don't work here...that's the answer to your question

Good move by FG

How much will it cost to build a new one?

Thats way more money than the amount stolen in the italian job. I think its time international hackers start accessing Nigeria's accounts database. Abi all these movies we just watch them for nothing

Abi all these movies we just watch them for nothing. Money plenty like this yet the can't build refineries or improve the power sector so we could be driving electric cars

That is good the bridge really need to be renovate

What are they renovating with such huge amount of is it the same 3rd Mainland Bridge that is from Island to the Mainland or is the one linking Nigeria to Paris I am not understanding this ooooo government want to finish us oooo

trying to tell us the amount they av made from all toll gates in Lagos since January $53.6bn is not bad but they can't use it to repair bridge I know that

How much would cost a new one....

40 years?! How old are you ogbeni?! Bridge built in the late 80s is now 40 years old Iro yi popu


On serious note, the money too much sha.....they should kunkun build a new one!

The US $52.6m worth of repair work contract has been awarded to an Italian construction firm, Borini Prono which constructed the bridge. ;

Same company repairing Oshodi towards abule egba road . You guys should expect consistent traffic jam during the period of renovation

$52.6m

Watch out by next yrs additional mouthwatering sum will be allocated in the name of completing this bridge rehabilitation.

APC sure know wat to put out to the public usin that to loot ur money

and they wouldn't even use up to half that amount to do the job...they'd share the rest amongst themselves

millionaires overnight...corruption everywhere

must Evey huge infrastructural spending be either Lagos or Abuja?? is Nigeria cursed? what happens to other cities? no light. no good roads, 65$ for just maintaining a bridge...

ojmaroni247:
That's a lot... While the Niger bridge is yet to be completed, or the invisible Ogoni clean up or the white elephant bonny road. ... The SS and SE done suffer

Niger bridge is 44% complete
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/04/second-niger-bridges-construction-hits-44-6/

We all know why Ogoni clean up is stalled

And we also know that the people who are supposed to benefit from the Bonny road are their own worst enemy.

All this facts are out there but you choose to be mischievous. Giving a little credit won't hurt you know. Never in my whole life as a Nigerian seen any government committed to delivering projects like this.
Yes we have a long way to go but this is a good starting point.

eh..naija

how much e go cum take to do new one?
