The acting Federal Controller of Works in Anambra State, Seyi Martins, has said that the Second Niger Bridge will be fully ready for use by the first quarter of 2024.
However, Martins said the bridge would be officially inaugurated by December 2022.
He disclosed this over the weekend while receiving members of the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, COREN, at the bridge site.
The Controller said that the project’s first phase had been substantially completed, adding that what is left is the final asphalt surfacing on the Asaba-bound carriageway lane with that of the Onitsha-bound carriageway entirely laid.
