Please @autojosh, the bridge and road are nowhere near completion. It is still hell for us living there. Construction of the bridge stopped over 5 months ago. They are expanding the roads leading to Alagbole junction but the gridlock at the bottom of the new bridge (since they destroyed a part of the old bridge) during rush hour is horrible coupled with the fact that they have refused to fill and level the small dirt part motorist are now forced to use.
If you truly want to report unbias, please take a camera and visit when its 5.30pm till very late at night to see how motorists suffer to pass through that small portion left for us to ply. Even bikes find it difficult as the place is too narrow for cars. The other day I spent over 2 hours on that tiny portion that should take 10 minutes tops during rush hour to cross over the river and it didn't even rain that day.
The bridge is just there like a white elephant. Seeing it just adds to the frustration we go through.
Greed and selfishness made them start the construction of that bridge. They could have just widened Yakoyo, Celebustop and maybe renovate the formal bridge. But I guess that would have looked out of place if they put something billion of naira as the budget for its construction.
The Akute bridge has long been abandoned and I won't even talk about the roads that lead from Berger to Akute through Denro. If that road was motorable, maybe the pressure won't be so much on the Alagbole Yakoyo road.

God bless you,,, and some people are here praising the govt, it's better to leave it the way it was than the way they've abandoned it now...
the road is hell
