The Federal Government has opened the Second Niger Bridge for use.
This is expected to ease traffic in the South-east during the festive season.
According to the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, the bridge will be opened for use for one month and would be closed to traffic on January 15, 2023.
Fashola noted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s purpose of completing the bridge was to save lives and alleviate poverty caused by wasted hours in gridlock on the old Niger Bridge.
