The federal government says the Second Niger Bridge will be fully open to motorists on May 15, 2023.
Babatunde Fashola, minister of works and housing, spoke on Tuesday while inspecting and confirming the completion of the Loko-Oweto Bridge and link roads between Benue and Nasarawa states.He added that the flag-off ceremony will be formally done by the President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The link road [of the bridge] that we formally opened to traffic, the date we have now is the 15th of May, as of yesterday ‘. We are rolling out all the steps to support the contractor to see that date is achieved. “A lot of snag resolutions are going to start; lane marking on the bridge will soon start and erection of signage will also soon start. Just about two weeks before the end of the term, the President will be invited to the completion, and maybe any day thereafter, he will be able to fly in and do the ceremony. But by the 15th of May, the bridge should be fully open to traffic.
