Second Niger Bridge in Nigeria complete, handed over to FG
The Second Niger Bridge in Nigeria has been handed over to the Federal Government (FG) following the completion of its construction. The infrastructure was handed over by the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) which provided funding and acted as the project manager.
According to Aminu Umar-Sadiq, the Managing Director of NSIA, the transfer of the Second Niger Bridge to the FG represents a significant achievement for NSIA. This is because “it aligns with its commitment to effectively execute large scale complex projects that positively impact socio-economic conditions for present and future generations of Nigerians.”
Scope of the Second Niger Bridge project
Reportedly, the Second Niger Bridge project involved the construction of a 1.6km concrete box-girder bridge over the river Niger. The project also involved the construction of two secondary bridges with a length of 21.7 meters each at Amakon Village Road and Atani Road.
Additionally, the bridge project involved the construction of a new cloverleaf interchange at Onitsha – Owerri Road. It also included the construction of 10.3 kilometres of approach roads from Asaba, Delta State and Onitsha, Anambra State. |
