Breaking: Second Niger Bridge Now Completed – Fashola

The completion of the second Niger Bridge has been confirmed by the minister of works and housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola.

He also confirmed that the only thing remaining is the link road from Asaba Delta state, before the bridge will be commissioned.

His statement:

“I can confirm that the second Niger bridge itself is finished. People can walk through the bridge now unimpeded. What remains is the four-kilometer link road on the Asaba side.

“Right now, our dredger is in place, we have to rebuild the road by reclaiming sand, the recent surge of flood has slowed us down. On the Onitsha side, there is a 7kilometer road that links the bridge and the Onitsha-Owerri interchange.”
