Apapa bridge is a major bridge in Lagos as it links people from the Island to the mainland especially those in Ajegunle, Ijora, Wharf among others. The Nigerian government is known to have a bad maintenance culture as they don't repair roads or maintain it except if they want to use it to score a cheap political point. The honourable minister of works and housing Mr. Babatunde Fashola as at 2016 visited this bridge to access the damage but it seems nothing has been done so far.

The state of Apapa-Ijora Bridge is saddening because it is a major artery to Apapa, home of Nigeria’s most utilised seaports. Because rail and water transportation have collapsed, we necessarily depend on roads to transport imported goods, including fuel, to various parts of the country from the ports. This has put more stress on the roads even as it has become a nightmare for commuters.

This is a bridge that one does not have to be an engineer to know that it is a disaster waiting to happen. Its expansion joints are broken, with columns supporting it peeling off even as the integrity of its alignment is suspect. According to a trader under the bridge, “there is always unusual vibration under the bridge when trucks travel over the expansion joints.”

AutoReportNG on his tour to Apapa saw the bad sharp of the pillars of the bridge, these are the pillars that support the bridge as they have already falling off. We noticed most of the pillars are blown off and they have started peeling, for a bridge of such magnitude then an immediate action needs to be taken as soon as possible. The bridge has been neglected for over 12 years, despite the fact that it was engulfed in a fire about six years ago, which worsened its condition. We bring you pictures from our tour, enjoy!!!

A real disaster waiting to happen!

Welcome to the so-called "Centre Of Excellence"

Notice this bridge is not in the high-brow areas of Lekki, Ajah, Ikoyi, Victoria Island and so on, hence the no attention paid to it smh

If you want to criticize. ..do it well. Is Auto Josh a professional reporter?...with professional equipment?... does NL have quality control? The guy is trying to avoid a disaster ...is this the best you can say? Some people sef.
@ topic.... good post op. There must be someone responsible for the maintenance of such structures. ... if such a major and important one is neglected we know what is happening with others.... so why is he receiving a salary?..and bonuses?...and whatever else?..what exactly does he do while on the job? Guess we need to send this post to the media and get them to interview him. Guess nothing will be done without force.

To make already bad situation worse, those trailers decided to use it as garage.

Can only happen in a lawless country and a modern-day "animal farm"

In sane climes, those trailers or trucks will be towed no matter whose ox is gored and the owners paying heavy fines as a deterrence to others

Abi for a city said to be 20 million people, and someone is saying minimum casualties, how come?
