When a flyover bridge is constructed, there are usually areas around them that are left unutilized. An example of such is the vacant space beneath the flyover.  These spaces are often either underutilized or used indiscriminately for parking of vehicles, etc.

These spaces under flyover bridges have immense potential. They can be developed into active space for public activities.  For instance, they can be transformed into recreational areas or well-organized car parks.

To achieve all these, the area under the flyover has to be illuminated, decorated with theme-based graffiti at certain spaces to create awareness for certain causes, etc.

These spaces can also be used to cultivate some vegetation or greenery. This will contribute to the ecology and environment and acts as a buffer to reduce air pollution as well as contribute to the aesthetics of the street in the day time.

In so many cities around the world, under flyover bridges has been used to achieve different public purposes.

In this article, Autojosh.com compares under some flyover bridges in Dubai, UAE and in Lagos, Nigeria.

Under Flyover Bridges In Lagos

The difference is 7-Up.

In Nigeria, anywhere called under bridge is a nightmare. It is either a shelter for mad people, thieves, rogues, illegal contrabands, phone grabbers, pickpockets, weed smokers, or even low key prostitution!

The day you find yourself hanging out under the bridge, only God can restore your destiny.

Meanwhile, this is Jos Federal Secretariat Bridge, sometimes eh, Lagos State alone can disgrace the whole of Nigeria.

Lets be patriotic. Let us not say anything about the state of under bridges in Nigeria. Kai. Thunder fire our politicians.

Autojosh is a blogger, trying to make money from traffic. You would notice that he ends of saying 'see more images here'

He can share any news here to get traffic as a businessman

This has nothing to do with Patriotism or lack of it

Trump that calls Nigeria shithole was not under influence of alchol o.. He knows what he is saying..

Here's the difference.

90% of the Lagos debt are stolen by politicians under the dictates of one man in Ikoyi, while Dubai's debt is spent on infrastructures that you can see, touch and feel
