The bridge is not in use. The writer should have stated where the bridge is.
Also, it was a truck that was carrying heavy duty vehicle that damaged it from under, so it's not like the crack was from usage or weak structure

I passed that road the day that crack happened. It was as a result of an out of guage heavy load on a trailer that hit the bridge. They should not blame it on bad construction. I believe the crack has been noticed and due action will be taken.

This bridge is not along the Lagos-Ibadan express way. Online journalist with wrong narration.

The bridge is not in use .... so it cannot collapse and crush people passing under. The crack was due to an accident ... no danger ...unless it was from poor construction. Clap for yourself. Unbelievable.
Re: Man Raises Alarm Over Heavy Cracks On Lagos–ibadan Expressway Bridge(Photos/Vid) by Nigerianlion(m): 3:43pm On Jan 03
This is a serious concern because visible structural cracks on any major bridge — especially one on a busy expressway — could pose a real safety risk if not inspected and repaired immediately. It’s good that the issue has been brought to public attention, but relevant authorities need to verify where exactly this bridge is located, the cause of the damage, and whether it is still in use. Clear details matter here.
