Lagos Unveils 4th Mainland Bridge Logo By Kazeem Ugbodaga

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday formally unveiled the Fourth Mainland Bridge Project.

Three firms have been shortlisted for the mega project meant to decongest traffic in Lagos State.

Unveiling the Logo in Lagos, State’s Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, who represented Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said “One of our campaign promises was to revive the 4th mainland bridge project.

“This new bridge when completed will not only ease the burden of commuters, it will also open up business opportunities for the state.

“Therefore, in making our word our bond, we sent out an expression of interest for the construction of the 4th mainland bridge a few months ago, which attracted quite a number of bidders,” he said.

According to him, “I am indeed glad to say we have shortlisted 3 preferred bidders and have moved to the 2nd stage which is unveiling of the 4th mainland bridge (4MB) logo, and the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) stakeholders engagement and consultation workshop.

  1. In as much as it’s a laudable idea to construct the 4MB, i’m rather worried that it would end up being like the 3MB traffic-wise. We need to shift our focus from road travel and begin to optimally use our waterways. We have the BRT scheme on our roads, why can’t we have some form of efficient BRT on our waterways? Sure would be cheaper that the cost of the 4MB! An efficient inter modal system is all we really need such that most car owners can leave their cars at home and still get to their destinations in comfort.
