The rehabilitation of the Third Mainland and Carter bridges in Lagos will cost N21 billion and N25 billion, respectively
The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, made this disclosure during a Friday, 29 March, 2024 tour of key infrastructure projects in Lagos with the National Assembly Joint Committee on Works.
According to Umahi, there is a need to declare an emergency on the two bridges to avert a reconstruction cost of N6 trillion.
The minister warned of the substantial financial and safety risks posed by continued delays of the rehabilitation works.
“The cost of rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge is estimated at N21 billion. I want the National Assembly to note that this is the worst of our challenges on these two bridges. The cost of rehabilitation of Carter Bridge is N25 billion”, he stated.
