dplordx: since we have a business governor who doesnt do nothing without thinking of how to squeeze the masses of their meagre money and earning, Ekoile, how much are you guys intending to charge on this one.U are a politician no doubt about that, most of u guys travel out and see what is obtainable, most roads and bridges are privately constructed in over sea for a token as toll gate. In Nigeria, when anyone or government does that people with myopic vision raise abuse just like this one here. I'm not a politician and will never be. I LOVE NIGERIA, I LOVE LAGOS. EKO ONI BAJE |

kizito96: Lets be realistic, Fashola is doing very well. If other previous Governors had provided infrastructure like this, the Country would have turned into something else GOD BLESS U MY BROTHER. PEOPLE WILL NEVER SAY THE TRUTH COS THEY ARE BEEN TIPPED WITH TORO-KOBO |

naptu2: The key question is; WILL THIS BRIDGE BE TOLLED? So it appears that the bridge will be tolled |

The bridge looks almost done! Naptu2, around when do you think it will be open? |
Re: Fashola Inspects Ikoyi Bridge Now At 80% Completion. Pics by naptu2: 7:08pm On May 30, 2012 |
Unfortunately, this picture isn't so good. It's supposed to show that they are putting in the guard rail.

These pictures show the Alexander end of the bridge. That stretch of bridge hadn't been done when I last took pictures. Although the government hasn't announced any date, but I don't think it'll be long before the governor commissions the bridge. Sorry about the poor quality of some of the pictures.

jason123: Certainly. I'm not even against tolling, but I believe the stakeholders (residents, etc) should be informed on time and they should be given a platform to voice their concerns, so that the government can address those concerns. |

Nice pics. Can someone with a civil engineering background explain the function of the cables extending from the 'tower' to the main section below? I thought that they are meant to serve as suspension cables (kinda like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco) to hold the bridge up? From the little i've seen in the pics, it looks like the bridge doesn't need that kind of support as it's being constructed like the third mainland bridge. I'm thinking they're being used just for aesthetic reasons.....to make the bridge look grand. |
Re: Fashola Inspects Ikoyi Bridge Now At 80% Completion. Pics by PROUDIGBO(m): 8:06pm On May 30, 2012 |
And another thing: i hope they place good halogen lighting at strategic points, so the bridge looks good at night when viewed from afar......kinda like the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This could then be used for postcard pics to showcase Lagos. |

Nice one BRF, at least a lasting Legacy to Lagosians than Street-naming. Please don't have any ideas of capping it all up by dedicating it to one You Know Who with a Native Cap with figure 8 abeg |

PROUD-IGBO: BRF said he wants the bridge to be a tourist attraction. His comments+the bright lights currently on the tower make me believe that they plan to adorn the bridge with halogen lights. |

The 1.4km long bridge with a cable stayed pylon of 90m in the middle and a full span approach and departing bridge linking Admiralty Way to Bourdillon Road will definitely be the cynosure of admiration and will make the list of iconic constructions in Lagos State.. |

The Lekki-Ikoyi Cable Bridge will not only ease traffic but also beautify the area as it has been regarded as a timeless monument for the future. 1 Like |

At the moment there are lights at the top and halfway up the tower. At night you can clearly see the tower from Lekki-Epe Expressway. |
Re: Fashola Inspects Ikoyi Bridge Now At 80% Completion. Pics by ahf(m): 9:40pm On May 30, 2012 |
naptu2: Tolling the road....hmmmmm..... Only consolation is that alternate routes exist, hence it is optional and should cause less ripples than the Lekki-Epe Expressway |
