BREAKING: Fourth Mainland Bridge Construction Begins First Quarter 2024 — Sanwo-Olu

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State announced on Thursday that the construction of the much-anticipated Fourth Mainland Bridge is set to commence in the first quarter of this year, with a projected start date "by the end of March or April."

The governor disclosed this in his keynote address during the Lagos West Senatorial District Town Hall Meeting held at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton, Ikeja.

Sanwo-Olu 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 the 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 added.
