I'm sure a construction cost analysis and comparison between this cable stay bridge in Morroco and the one in Lekki would throw open what Mr Lagos landlord has constituted himself to the Lagos state treasury....A massive drainage comparable only to the Galactic black hole.

North Africans have no businesses being part of Africa the only thing that has held them down is religion and extremism.


U were absolutely correct... It cost 32.45 million to construct this bridge, which translate to around 12 billion naira and its built by China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group... While our own Ikoyi Bridge is built at a cost of 29 billion naira... (79.566 million dollars)... So, u see we are doomed and they are still tolling it o

That moment when you thought the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge has the best masterpiece in Africa, then you need to think again as you are yet mind blogging designs. The Mohammed VI Bridge has been adjourned as Africa's longest cable bridge not only that, it comes with ambiance and beauty.

Morocco recently celebrated the completion of the longest cable-stayed bridge in Africa, the Mohammed VI Bridge outside the country’s capital city of Rabat. The bridge, which pays homage to the King of Morocco, has become an iconic new landmark, thanks in part to Philips LED lighting which adorns the length of the bridge. The bridge’s operators can choose from 16 million colors or create a fantastic light show, all while operating at a cost-effective level of energy efficiency.

The Mohammed VI Bridge was inaugurated just two weeks ago by its namesake. The bridge spans a section of desert connecting Rabat to the city of Salé with 3,116 feet (950 meters) of roadway, making it the longest bridge of its kind on the African continent. The bridge carries six lanes of vehicle traffic and spans between two 650-foot (200-meter) tall towers. Some 160 cables lend strength to the bridge as well and provide the perfect support for the lighting system that illuminates the bridge’s cables and pillars high above the roadway.

The futuristic lighting system employs Philips Color Kinetics technology. It allows bridge officials to change up to 16 million colors and can be programmed to display elaborate light shows. In addition to the wow factor of the sight of the illuminated bridge, the LED lighting system can keep costs under control, operating at a level up to 75 percent more energy efficient other existing lighting systems.

Re: This Is The Longest Cable-Stayed Bridge In Africa by Nobody: 12:24pm On Oct 18, 2018
That bridge is not 100% cable stayed, and shouldn't be classed in that category. They can't tell us that the bridge is not having any contact with those pillars through which it passes
