Construction of Fourth Mainland Bridge to begin in March, April — Sanwo-Olu

The executive governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said the construction of the long-awaited 37km Fourth Mainland Bridge will begin by the end of March or April.

Speaking in Ikeja on Thursday, January 25, the governor said: “We’ve done extensive work on the bridge but we are at the crossroads of where to get real financing for that kind of project we need to be very creative but thank God that we have reached the last point of the construction.

Our commitment is that within this first quarter, meaning that by the end of March or April, we should break grounds to start the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge.

I am using this opportunity to say that we have done extensive study, so we cannot get a new road without having to do a little bit of discomfort but we will ensure that we will compensate everybody that their properties or businesses will be disturbed by this construction.
