Second Niger Bridge: Checkout The Inside And Outside Of The Tunnel Linking The Bridge (Photos)
The Second Niger Bridge is fast becoming a monument and fast becoming a reality soon. The bridge which is a joint venture between the private and the public sector is 1.6 km (0.99 mi) long and furnished with other ancillary infrastructure including a 10.3 km (6.4 mi) highway, Owerri interchange and a toll station, expected to be completed in the year 2022. The bridge was initiated under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan and is being sustained by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The bridge is being constructed across Nigeria’s Niger River and it will span from Asaba to Ozubulu and Ogbaru areas.
The project is being developed through a public-private partnership (PPP) involving Julius Berger.
The Second Niger Bridge is a key national infrastructure, with immense socio-economic benefits for the contiguous states and indeed the entire nation.
Upon completion, the bridge will ease traffic flow, improve road safety, and create greater opportunities for local residents by advancing the commercial viability of the immediate area and regenerating economic life.
The scope of works include the construction of 1.6 km long bridge, 10.3 km Highway, Owerri interchange and a toll station.
