Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said that the long-awaited commencement of the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge would begin in the first quarter of this year.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this during the Lagos West Senatorial District Town Hall Meeting at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton, Ikeja.
Emphasizing a gradual construction approach, the governor assured that tenants and landlords affected by building demolitions in the process will receive fair compensation.
He said: “We’ve done extensive work on the bridge. But we are at the crossroads of where to get the real financing for that kind of project. We’ll need to be very creative.
“Our commitment is that within this first quarter, meaning that by the end of March or April, we should break ground to start the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge.”
