The Lagos State Government has completed the Lekki-Ikoyi suspension bridge
built at a cost of N29 billion. The link bridge will soon be formally
commissioned by Governor Babatunde Fashola and a toll will be collected to
recoup the N29 billion invested in building it.

The bridge was built by Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. and has a total length of
1.358 km. The bridge is expected to decongest traffic in Lekki area and is a
cynosure of all eyes because of its beauty.

 Julius Berger has five years contract
to maintain the bridge and could be renewed at the expiration of the term. The
bridge is designed to serve as a strategic by-pass and to reduce the travel
time along Falomo Bridge,
Alfred Rewane Road, Independence
Bridge and Ahmadu Bello Way.

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc began the construction of the bridge in October,
2008. The total length of the main bridge is 466m. The length of Cable
Bridge is 170m (the suspended
section), the height of Pyron is 87m from water level navigational requirement
