The ongoing emergency rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Works and the Lagos State Government, is set to cost more than N21.074 billion.
Dave Umahi, Minister of Works, and Deputy Governor of Lagos, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, revealed this during the flag-off ceremony, highlighting that the increased cost is due to an expanded scope, encompassing the complete replacement of the bridge deck asphalt to a standard two inches for enhanced smoothness and safety in motoring.
Umahi said, “The ongoing emergency rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State would gulp over N21.074bn.
“This is yet another milestone in the actualisation of the renewed hope agenda of divine President Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
“This, among other things, is aimed at the total repositioning of road and bridge infrastructure in Nigeria and to bring succour to road users who have suffered the effects of decayed infrastructure over the years.”
