Kano is a million miles ahead of your villages

There's a clear difference between modern and upward city and a backward village.


There's a clear difference between competent and visionary governors and clueless, visionless, crude and crass village governor.

There's no economic growth in Kano, but the same Kano is building and delivering wonderful and quality projects left and right, Kano state's budget is almost twice the largest budget in your poor region, Kano's GDP is larger than the one on your village, but the best state and the best governor in your entire region, Obiano aka borehole governor commissions nothing but borehole and substandard death trap flyover.

Sadly for Lagos, Lagos State's budget is 4 times larger than Osun and 3 times larger than Kano, but Lagos under Ambode is far far behind Osun and Kano in terms of project delivery.

We are saying the same thing. It is effectively a 4 lane highway but the center lanes are now converted to a flyover.
the old road is effectively eliminated I'm afraid. I attached a photo for clarity purposes
You said the road is effectively eliminated, but it's not, the center lane was elevated to allow and move traffic heading to other parts of the city sidetrack the congestion and intersections down below, but they still have underpass/extra lanes for vehicular traffic down below.

If there were an underpass and overpass, we wouldn't be debating this design.

Actually, the flyover DOES lift the preexisting road off the ground and away from the commercial centre. At least going by the pictures presented in this thread. The bridge is supported by two piers per section and not one central pier, the old road is effectively eliminated I'm afraid. I attached a photo for clarity purposes.
Going by the same pictures, the bridge sits in and consumed just the middle lane with rooms left on the right and left sides of the bridge for vehicular traffic below.

Are we not looking at cars moving on both sides of the bridge in the other pictures?

UfuomaUN:
Nigerian governors think development is about overhead bridges! Cosmetic projects to siphon funds. The only state that probably needs a bridge of this magnitude is Lagos cos of the huge vehicular traffic in that state! Why spend a lot on building a 2km bridge when cheaper alternatives exist? A state with a very high poverty rate for that matter!
Kano is a poor state according to your ignorant conclusion, but the same poor Kano built and commissioned better quality projects than the whole of your region combined.


All you people do is spew rubbish and needless insult and put other people down, but your own leaders re so corrupt and incompetent that you can not even show us anything meaningful they did with your taxes, allocations and derivations, it's like your own useless leaders are invisible to you, but leaders and people in other states are always visible to bad mouth and insult.

1. The foot of the bridge I meant is the one linking the busy center to the length of the main flyover.
2. It saves time, manpower and eases movement but not for the economic center to which these indices really matter.
3. The difference is in the access of pedestrians to the speed lanes which would be next to impossible or terribly arduous with the flyover design. I am also advocating simplicity.
4. Not necessarily, the road needn’t be widened beyond reason, a lane or two extra is not going to be much of a big deal.
5. A ten lane expressway is an overkill in this case but I get your stance, although I doubt there is a need for such level of expansion on that road.
6. Maybe or not. But of course they have the figures and I don’t, I am only questioning based on what the photographs here tell me. But if this was the only solution that could be reached, well…
7. Human traffic slows down vehicular traffic and for the busy area this is actually a real problem as you would have more people using that zone that vehicles on a normal day. i.e. a market.
8. compared to the economic relevance of that city center, I’d wager you are betting on the wrong horse but then again we don’t have the numbers so we can only speculate.
9. If the accident happens along the busy lanes, how do you reach and evacuate the victims speedily knowing the level of congestion the bridge solution must have inflicted upon the road network within.
10. Actually, there is such a course as Highway Engineering and they take all those metrics into serious considerations when evaluating design options.
No offense, I don't see any meaning, logic or relevance in your argument. I'll pass.

When public officials loot, they hide or spend the money on frivolous things that doesn't benefit the local population, that money is gon for good, it won't create any business in Nigeria, it won't create jobs in Nigeria and it won't develop or help Nigeria in any way. The money is now strictly for them and their families to enjoy.

This is why people like Dangote are everywhere freely spending their money creating businesses, creating jobs and monopolizing left and right.

Politicians and public officials are hiding and sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars that they can not do anything with in public so the stolen funds are really worthless to the thieves and Nigerians.


Corrupt public officials are evil people.

The Flyover as a solution is actually counter intuitive from a design standpoint. The goal is to decongest traffic but what I see is just a relocation of the traffic hotspot from the center of the commercial area to the foot of the flyover.
Going by the pictures, we can not even see the foot of the bridge or whatever traffic you are talking about at the foot of the bridge. The bridge goes as far as the eyes can see, we can not even see the on or off ramp apart from exist for traffic heading to other parts of the city.

The bridge obviously glossed over the central market and business district area and many intersections.




In engineering, utility, aesthetics and safety are the three tenets and sadly this overly complex flyover meets none of these criteria convincingly. The Flyover is unnecessarily long, the space beneath it doesn't link more than one perpendicular road network i.e. eliminating roundabouts, nor is it economically viable (warehousing) due to safety concerns.
The bridge can in no way be too long if the idea is to move people, goods and services from one end of the city to the other end with ease and away from bustling traffic and intersections below which saves time, manpower and productive hours, reduces traffic stress, accident and ultimately money.

A reasonable solution is to create a 4 lane road. With, the two center lanes dedicated to commuters who have no business with the commercial area. The two other outlying lanes will go through the busy area. Each flanking the speed lanes


Each of these four lanes will be adequately seperated by means of concrete lane guards or short width trenches (for drainage purposes if that is a concern) complemented with simple wire fences. This will automatically prevent any vehicular or human movement from one lane to another. Separation of concerns is complete.
You are not projecting anything different from what they did apart from adding the extra lanes above in form of a flyover.

They obviously can not do what you are suggesting without bulldozing and eliminate established businesses in the area, without incurring exorbitant compensations, without relocating power and poles communication cables or poles, maybe water pipes or gas lies, possible court litigations and so on.

So, avoiding all that extra cost, time and headache mean going overhead and achieve the same goals on a better scale.


Case study::: 10 lanes Lagos Badagry expressway. Some people are asking why it's taking too long to complete the project, but news flash, the state is in court battling many business and homeowners who are refusing to relocate, demanding excessive compensations, they are dealing with power companies to relocate power lines and cables and so on.

You obviously lessen the cost, headache, time and energy by going overhead.


I'm almost 100% they saw your option, they encountered difficulties and needless cost before going overhead.


To tackle the traffic in the busy lanes, two or three strategic locations will have pedestrian bridges (crossing the entire 4 lanes and with stairway access to the two speed lanes).They will be erected to ease human traffic out of the market and allow the people means to access the speedlanes so as to board vehicles out of the area fast. This will prevent any further traffic buildup on the busy lanes.
The issue here is obviously vehicular traffic and not human traffic and you don't need a long bridge or flyover to move human traffic from one side of the road to the next.

The obvious reason is, of course, to move people, goods and services from one end of the city to the next. There's absolutely no reason to spend 1 or more hour shuttling within the city instead of 10 minutes. Time is money and the more money people and businesses make = more money for the state and the city.

In case of emergencies too, you can easily access the busy lanes through the speed lanes using contraptions over the trenches and cutting through the wire fences to reach victims. There will be no need to factor in elevation contingencies as would be the case with this 2km long flyover. Now all 4 lanes will share the traffic load optimally and prevent any gridlock in the future. This solution meets the three engineering requirements adequately.

In engineering the simplest solutions are the best. Ockam's razor and yes, this flyover is not only unnecessary but sub-optimal as a solution.
Why go through all that? If your destination and or emergency services means using the flyover to get to where you are going or the hospital, you get on it and if it's accessible down below, then use the surface roads. Simple.

This has nothing to do with engineering, this basic traffic management and the state building problem-solving infrastructure to improve quality of life, save human and productive hours, cost of duing business and pollution.
