Lagos state Governor commissions Oyingbo bridge

Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu says the final two months of the year will bring a wave of completed projects and initiatives that represents his administration’s commitment to improving the lives of people of the state.

He stated this at the commissioning of the Oyingbo Bridge, describing it as “a significant step in our journey towards completing and opening the Red Line Rail project.”

The Governor also thanked his Ekiti state counterpart, Biodun Oyebanji, for gracing the commissioning.

The Oyingbo Bridge is a remarkable T-shaped structure, stretching 717 meters in length. It connects key areas of Lagos, enhancing accessibility and safety.

The bridge links Murtala Muhammed Way to Apapa Road, offering access to Costain, Iganmu Industrial Area, Lagos Badagry Expressway, Herbert Macaulay Way, Third Mainland Bridge, Otto, Carter Bridge, and Ijora.

The Oyingbo Bridge also improves traffic flow and enhances safety by separating vehicular/pedestrian traffic from rail traffic, reducing accidents at railway level crossings.
