Iddo Bridge in Lagos is crumbling under truck crashes and past fires—Julius Berger plans to demolish half next week, reroute traffic, and rebuild stronger, as announced Sunday during Works Minister Sen. Dave Umahi’s site tour!
Regional Manager Thomas Christl detailed splitting lanes now: three damaged spans get axed, traffic swings one way by week’s end, new side done by March end, then flip for the rest—lowering road levels boosts clearance from risky 4.5m to safe 5.6m, fixing crash causes, with drainage and lagoon outfalls already wrapped.
Umahi blamed illegal dwellers for fire-wrecking six spans (N15bn fix, June deadline), praised bypass progress, and vowed CCTV like Third Mainland to watch undersides and tops—no delays, or engineers report back sharp!
