“From about 30 companies that expressed interest, we are now at the final stage with three shortlisted companies and I am hoping by March we should have completed the process.
“I want to say our administration is doing well, even if I do say so myself and our people can also testify to the progress we are making across board.
“I made a promise to serve Lagosians diligently and I intend to continue to do that with all the vigour and energy in me.’’
In April 2020, the Lagos State Government shortlisted 10 companies, including CCECC Nigeria Limited and Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, for the construction of the proposed Lagos Fourth Mainland Bridge.
When completed, the proposed 38 km long Fourth Mainland Bridge, will become the longest bridge in Africa. It will connect Lagos Island by way of Lekki, Langbasa, and Baiyeku towns and across Lagos Lagoon to Itamaga, in Ikorodu.
The bridge is one of the priority solutions to relieve the 11.8 km 3rd Mainland bridge of severe congestion. It will also open up new areas of Lagos State for future development and distribute socio-economic growth across the State.
