LAGOS STATE TO BUILD NEW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN OJOTA

Residents had complained about long queues following the enforcement of the use of the bridge by the current governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, urging the government to consider an alternative bridge to ease the struggles.

The Lagos State Government says it plans to build an additional pedestrian bridge in Ojota following complains over congestion caused by the current bridge.

Residents had complained about long queues following the enforcement of the use of the bridge by the current governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, urging the government to consider an alternative bridge to ease the struggles.

In a statement made available to Tv360 on Friday, the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, said the government had decided to build a new to make passage more convenient.

He said the construction of the additional bridge had become necessary after the newly erected New Jersey Wall on the median of the expressway.

He reiterated that the need for the construction of the wall, which was similar to the measure taken between Ketu and Mile 12 axis of the road, was meant to reduce fatalities on the part of commuters crossing the highway.

He commended the orderly conduct of commuters in the usage of the bridge and urged them to be patient with government until the new one was constructed.
