The Nigerian Government has said that the public will soon be able to use the Second Niger Bridge connecting the states of Anambra and Delta.
At a ministerial press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, revealed this.
The Second Niger bridge has been “completed,” he claimed, and “people can now go through the bridge unhindered.”
He said, “I can confirm that the second Niger bridge itself is finished. People can walk through the bridge now unimpeded. What remains is the four-kilometer link road on the Asaba side.
“Right now, our dredger is in place, we have to rebuild the road by reclaiming sand, the recent surge of flood has slowed us down. On the Onitsha side, there is a 7kilometer road that links the bridge and the Onitsha-Owerri interchange.”
He noted that the four-kilometre connection road on the Asaba side needs to be finished.
