2nd is due to be completed in less than 3 years, but the 4th NB won't even see kick-off 5 Years from Now.

This is still the talking stage, they still have to get over funding, contract award, compensations, hundreds of demolitions, court cases and so on.

I hope so too

another audio project that will be delivered in 2035. first complete the blue line rail system so that we can take you seriously.

A lot of people are commenting just because they want to be among the people that are commenting.

There are public procurement laws and the government is not just going to "give" the contract/project to one company or the other. Companies are going to bid for the projecr.

The usual suspects, of course, will spew their brainless and ignorant rubbish for likes, this is the sad norm on NL.

A whole 39. That's good

Why are they bothering themselves...wetin Tinubu company dhan win

vincentjk:
This contract should either be given to Julius Berger for durability and experience.

Hec is also a good Chinese company but kinda low budget, they're the company behind keffi-nasarawa express way

Hitech (tinubu company) will finally get the contract with just a minute fone call. If you know you Know.

Hitech is presently doing road reconstruction at Anthony -oshodi expressway.

Another avenue to loot via inflated costs, and giving of contracts to their cronies.

In your dream

FACT.
And probably use 25billion dollars to build the 35kms bridge and make people pay toll for another 200years.

It is better than not having it at all. The project is strategic laudable

Tinubu won the contract for 1-gallon roadside Kerosene sharing in your village too..

It doesn't mean anything. The major thing is getting the job done.

If you have such opportunity in your mouldy and erosion ravaging State , you wouldn't come to Lagos. So, let Lagosian manage Lagos.

fairfora:
And we should be prepared to pay toll hugely

Yes ke!! You must pay toll...nothing is free in Freetown

This is not. Biafrauding project, lt's Oodua projects so strangers shld keep quiet

I posted a link to another thread where a graphic representation of the bridge was posted. That was not the thread that I was initially looking for, but I had to post it because I couldn't find the other (much older) thread.

The features of the bridge were better explained on the older thread. Apparently the bridge will also have space for a rail service. There's also a concourse on the bridge, but I can't quite remember what it will be used for. An artificial island will also be created in the lagoon and the bridge will pass over that island.

There are public procurement laws and the government is not just going to "give" the contract/project to one company or the other. Companies are going to bid for the project.

The project might even be awarded to more than one company for speedy completion.

lonelydora:
Is that what Nigeria currently need?

Yes shut ur ass up... Ur confused for ur information is a private partnership not government project

Some have asked whether the bridge is needed and the answer is that it is absolutely needed (in addition to other projects that are ongoing or in the pipeline). You might not realise this if you do not know the area where this bridge is located or if you do not know the other projects that are going on.

The consequence of not building this bridge (and another proposed expressway to Ijebu Ode) when the other projects are completed is too great and severe to imagine.

couragemurphy:
4th Mainland bridge? While biafra is still battling with 2nd Niger Bridge ... .. life ain't fair atall

Built by Lagos state government.

What are the docile governors of the SE doing?

The PDP slaves had to wait for Fashola and Buhari to complete their bridge. The same people who names GEJ Azikiwe.

lonelydora:

Yes, that's what we need.
So that your children can hawk gala there.

Please if you are an engineer and have an idea on this...pls lets come together and bid..
.Dm me pls...its our right...

Just a matter of time before Tinubu lovers, fanboys and obsessed worshipers enter his name into the topic.

You people can not do without Tinubu, you act as if you hate him, but you love him so much that you can not do without him, he's all you think about.

How one man seized control of your life and brain is one of the 7 wonders.

wat are u saying no contract is awarded without Baba having a say never not in Lagos wen his errand boys are der

Gforce2015:

Hitech cannot get the contract. There are only three construction companies in Nigeria today that can handle a 38km bridge. They are: Julius Berger, CCECC and Borini Prono. I don’t think the contract will be given to any company outside of these three.

Ok, here's a summary.

The centre of the City of Lagos is congested. By centre I mean places like Lagos Island, Yaba, Surulere, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki Phase 1, Apapa and all the way down to Ikeja. The question is, how do you decongest it and provide alternatives. Furthermore, the UN has projected that Lagos will be one of the worlds largest mega-cities by 2030. How do you cater for this huge population and provide the critical infrastructure that it will require.

There have been two ways that planners have devised to solve these problems. One is to build satellite towns within Lagos and the other is to make it easier for people to live outside Lagos and come into the city/state to work.

There is a third solution, which is to ensure that there is enough growth and development in other states, such that people will not need to migrate to Lagos, but that's outside the powers of the Lagos State Government.


With respect to developing new towns outside the centre of the city, governments in the past have developed Festac Town, Satellite Town and parts of Ikorodu and Epe and the city has expanded and swallowed them up. Private developers have also developed other satellite towns in Ogun State, places like Mowe and Ibafo and the city has expanded and swallowed them up.

In more recent times, the Lagos State Government has planned the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Ibeju Lekki (far away to the east of the city), the Badagry Energy City (to the west of the city) and the Eko Atlantic City (to the south of the city).

The Lekki Free Trade Zone will contain lots of industrial concerns, including a large refinery and it will also have a seaport and an airport, to reduce the pressure on Apapa Port and Murtala Muhammed Airport. The 4th Mainland Bridge and the expressway to Ijebu are two strategies for moving traffic out of the Free Trade Zone without that traffic going through the centre of the city and causing even greater congestion. Other strategies include the Green Railway Line (from Lekki Free Trade Zone to Marina) and the railway line on the bridge.


With respect to people living outside the state and coming into the state to work, that's why the state government plans to build the Red Line which will go as far as Agbado in Ogun State and that's the benefit of the standard gauge rail line that has almost been complete. With the standard gauge line you can live in Ibadan or Abeokuta and work in Lagos.

Pharrel22:


In your dream

its not a dream it's a fact, with chaotic traffic, daily cult clashes, high level of one chance and armed robbery, air pollution and dirty environment, how is Lagos not overrated?

This is what happens when you have a good policy and master plan for your state.

Just lay down a long lasting blue print and good policies and see private sectors in action.

Nigeria is a country full of potential and untapped resources. Many investors are willing to invest here, but lack of good policies scares them. Unstable policies. A government comes into power, they will give a policy, after 4 or 8 years, another government comes in, they trash the policies of the past government and bring their own, instead of continuing the last one and only make small amends if need be.

It will probably given to some Lebanese company. They offer the best prices

The Chagourys have neither the track record nor the technical capacity for this.

Julius Berger or China to the rescue or else Lagosians are about to get scammed again
