Underpasses would have been a better idea instead of raising unsafe concrete structure everywhere. Strategia use of traffic lights around flash points can also be applied. Civil engineers need to do more to ensure our city take New modern looks |

Those bridges are not needed there, they should be moved to Lekki-Epe express way, Oshodi-Oworonshoki express way, or Mowe-Berger express way. |

Not all citizens are the same. I still used one of those bridges last week. It may look convenient to flow with the crowd, but we should decide to be refreshingly different. 2 Likes |

These bridges were built in the 80s. For those who know the area well, you'll wonder why those bridges were built in the first place or why they take the positions they currently occupy. It's obvious they've lost their relevance. The area used to host a lot of public schools back in the day as well as several public quarters and barracks so I believe these could be some of the reasons why they were built. I know we used the bridges when we visit schools around during 'principal cup'. Most public schools today don't even have an overall population of 300 pupils, so the area is calmer compared to what it was. |

cococandy: Note that this road was constructed when there were fewer people is that area, and as the area grows in population such is needed so as to avert chaos and accident. Roads like Isolo road down to ikotun, were not done with future considerations, and as such areas increase in population, there might be need for expansion, and later adding the pedestrian bridge. Another example is here in Abuja, a road that has been constructed for over a decade, now that there is congestion in such axis and several accidents, they are now constructing pedestrian bridge (aya to Nyanya). |
