Arguably Nigeria's most famous bridge.
I have only used it on four occasions and each times, when on top of the vast lagoon beneath, I marvelled at the mighty power of God.
The Babangida regime and Julius Berger who built the bridge really tried. An engineering marvel.

By the way, can someone educate me on what are those brown looking floating things scattered on some parts of the lagoon as seen from the bridge? Are they fish traps or something?
Also, I remember seeing some spots on the lagoon full of weeds/grasses or somehow looking like tiny islands.
It's a raft made by locals living by the lagoon, I learnt they use it for planting vegetables and also trade on it.

Why must they close the entire bridge for six months when it would take the contractors three months to import the materials needed? Why can't they wait until the materials are available and ready before closing off parts of the bridge?

Secondly, why can't they close-off one or two lanes on each side, assuming there are three lanes on each side so that some traffic can be maintained while the work is being done and commuters are not severely inconvenienced? This is how it is done in most countries. You don't close off an entire bridge because you want to resurface it. Nonsense.

Those things you see there are logs of woods,they can not be transported by road,it can only be transported by the lagoon from ikorodu to Lagos state,.

Where will the budgetary provision comes from? Guess they will not tell us they want to borrow another stash of billions again to loot because of this undertaking?


@me
One of the benefits of removal of subsidy. The savings is there. We advised you rather than be living fake life and infrastructure deteriorate, remove the bloody subsidy and rechannel the savings to capital formation items.

You obviously know nothing about Nigeria if you really think any savings from subsidy removal will go towards any infrastructure.

Talk talk talk! Just shut up and work! I had high hopes when umahi was junketing round the country making promises, proclamations and pronunciations. I still can't travel intra-state within my state of residence because not one tipper of laterite or the proposed sharp sand has been dumped and graded to allow passage. Shut up and work! To the ugly-faced governor whose only achievements are troublemaking and fighting political associates, I reserve my comment.

So Umahi should fix all the roads in less than 3 month?

Kudos to the military govt that built the 3rd mainland bridge and other commendable landmarks...

Unlike THE INVISIBLE 4th mainland bridge that is being VERBALLY constructed by USELESS , SELF SERVING POLITHIEFCIANS for several years without any trace!

Be calming down. Read the report and understand.
The importation of relevant material will take 3months, that's why it's starting next year Jan instead of this month.
The project duration is 6months in total, split into 3months for each sides.
All these information I mentioned is stated in the report if you read it well

Well you are right my brother. .

Well, LASG is just quite lucky that this time, the diversion will not cause much traffic issues coz many people don't have fuel power to drive their vehicles on the road. .
