The Federal Government has announced plans to complete the reconstruction of the Carter Bridge in Lagos State within 24 months, cutting the initial 36-month timeline for the project.
The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, disclosed this on Monday during an inspection of the Carter Bridge and Iddo Bridge projects in Lagos.
Umahi was accompanied by the Minister of State for Works, Senator Mohammed Goronyo, as well as members of the National Assembly, including the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Works, Akin Alabi.
The minister explained that the decision to shorten the reconstruction period was informed by the critical role Carter Bridge plays in Lagos’ transportation network.
