The newly commissioned bridge connects Murtala Muhammed Way to Apapa Road, providing access to several key areas including Costain, Iganmu Industrial Area, Lagos Badagry Expressway, Herbert Macaulay Way, Third Mainland Bridge, Otto, Carter Bridge and Ijora.
“Not only does the Oyingbo Bridge improve traffic flow, but it also enhances safety by separating vehicular/pedestrian traffic from rail traffic, reducing accidents at railway level crossings,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said.
He concluded by promising a wave of completed projects and initiatives in the final two months of the year, representing his administration’s dedication to improving the lives of Lagosians.
“From infrastructure to education, we’re determined to keep Lagos moving forward, and these projects commissioned are just the beginning,” he added.
