Yes they can...by placing very many large pipes below the constructed road to allow for water flow

Dave0116:
if its true then its fine. But trust any nigerian government at your peril

Afamed:

But GEJ stole your oil money

theenchanter:
guy, there's a bridge in Sweden, its exactly the way I thought but it has an opening at one end.

theenchanter:
The question is..... since they can sandfill the construction site for heavy trucks to move materials, why can't they just sandfill that very place and build the road on it without building the bridge?

Won't it save more than building the bridge?

etrouble:
And they still hate Buhari. What your brother Goatluck could not do for 5.5 wated years, what your party PDP could not do for 16 miserable years, your enemy, the Fulani herdsman called Buhari is doing it. May God not make us beg our enemy for food. The money in imPatience Jonathan accounts can build this bridge.

descartes400:


Show us the pictures so that nairaland engineers can dissect and analyse it and make recommendations to the appropriate channels

FOLYKAZE:


Is this how bridges are constructed on expanded rivers and lagoons?

I have always wondered how third mainland bridge was built. Do the engineers have to sand-fill every now and then before they can complete it?

Dpharisee:


That Bridge is being built with out Oyel money and not from Buharis pocket. Moreover it will be for the benefit of Nigerians from every part who do business in that axis. Enough of the hate and stupid comments

yemmight:
Later some IPOB bigots will say there is nothing like 2nd bridge construction in the east.

9jatriot:
Every other region celebrates the construction work that goes on there.


If PMB can tackle the Fulani herdsmen and other security wahala, PDP will have nothing else to campaign with so that they can be relegated to the dustbin of history. PDP knows this that is why security is not likely to improve as that is the only ace they have up their sleeves.

Afamed:

But your Otueke GEJ with faster 5G speed and even PhD holder didn't start the bridge now . Or suddenly you have forgotten

OdumegwuOjukwu:



Whatever.

Fact is Buhari is doing no one a favour but doing his job.

He deserves no accolade for continuing a job and there is no guarantee in any case that he will finish it.

He still stands the worst president ever to have presided over Nigeria!

VenusTechShop:
Are these not same pictures that have been circulating the cyber space for over 3 years now? Why is this bridge being used for Politics always? When will this bridge ever pass Pillar like level?

Tufia.

winterfell007:


Idiots even if GEJ was still there, the bridge construction will have continued regardless. The financing arrangement was already sorted by them. Okonjo Iweala, the current MD of Nigeria Sovereign Wealth Fund (NSIA), Mr. Uche Orji all perfected the financing arrangement with the FG already paying down their 30% counterpart funding and NSIA and JB will source the remaining through ECA and equities. PMB assumed into office and saw a worked out system in place and followed it up as expected of him
So stop blabbing about how PMB is doing us a favour, because it's not a favour, it's our bloody right. Even if he decides to hault the project, successive administrations will complete it. So Bleep off

obailala:
The tolling was the original idea when the bridge was conceived in 2014. But the current government cancelled the tolling arrangement; the bridge is currently being built by FG alone, no more PPP.

Godoverevery:

You are a man.....been bitter about D's make no sense.

as an engineer d company building it is using local technology, with modern technology bridges are built with fewer but more strong pillars with bigger gaps in between to allow bigger vessels to pass through, strong steel alloys are use for the top since d gaps are more d strength of d materials will be great so that it doesn't cave in but in this case they are using Chinese local technology ,supporting it with a lot of small useless pillars, choking up spaces, vessels d size of trailer or container body can't pass under this bridge , bad technology

theenchanter:
nice response, very correct.

I didn't think of such thing.... was basing my thought on financial aspect alone.

Afamed:

I hardly exchange banter with nonentity especially the indomie generation

Dave0116:
While you're deceiving them with a bridge pls don't fail to tell them that you're not funding the bridge but a toll will be placed on the bridge for at least 50years to refund the company funding the bridge..... #StayWokeNaija
