Fourth Mainland Bridge construction commences first quarter 2024 — Sanwo-Olu

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said that the construction of the long-awaited Fourth Mainland Bridge will start in the first quarter of this year, “by the end of March or April.”

Sanwo-Olu made this known in his keynote address during the Lagos West Senatorial District Town Hall Meeting, which was held at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton, Ikeja.

The governor noted that the bridge will be constructed in phases while promising that landlords and tenants of structures demolished during the construction will be duly compensated.

“We’ve done extensive work on the bridge. But we are at the crossroads of where to get real financing for that kind of project. We’ll need to be very very creative,” he said.

“Our commitment is that within this first quarter, meaning that by the end of March or April, we should break grounds to start the construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge,” Sanwo-Olu said.
