Iddo Bridge Set for Partial Demolition and Reconstruction in Lagos

Plans have been finalised for the partial demolition of the Iddo Bridge in Lagos, with reconstruction works scheduled to begin next week as part of efforts to rehabilitate the ageing infrastructure.
The Regional Manager of Julius Berger Nigeria, Thomas Christl, disclosed this during an inspection of the bridge by the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi.
Christl explained that structural assessments identified severe damage to critical sections of the bridge, making the replacement of three spans necessary to guarantee safety and long-term durability.
According to him, the reconstruction will be carried out in phases to minimise traffic disruption. He added that the two carriageways would be separated, allowing construction to proceed on one section while traffic is diverted to the other
