Key insights into the 37-kilometre Fourth Mainland Bridge

Governor Sanwo-Olu in his address, said the Fourth Mainland Bridge (4MB) is a 2 x 4 lane carriageway with a BRT Lane and future road construction permissions. Packed with three toll plazas, nine interchanges, and a 4.5-kilometer Lagoon Bridge, the $2.5 billion project is poised to become the second-longest bridge in Africa. The eco-friendly development aims to alleviate congestion on existing bridges while opening new areas for future urban expansion.

Economic boost and job creation: 4MB propels growth and employment

With an estimated completion timeline of four years, the 4MB project is not just about infrastructure; it’s a job creation engine. The Lagos State Government projects the creation of 5000 jobs for young engineers and expects properties along the corridor to experience significant appreciation. The proposed toll road and bridge are part of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) transport infrastructure initiative, fostering economic growth and development.

While CCECC-CRCCIG claims the lead position, the Lagos State Government revealed that Messrs. MOTA-ENGIL (NIGERIA & AFRICA), CCCC & CRBC CONSORTIUM are the reserved bidders, highlighting the competitive nature of the project.

Billion-Dollar Investment: Navigating the funding of the Fourth Mainland Bridge project

Delving into the financial intricacies, the $2.5 billion Fourth Mainland Bridge project was initially estimated to cost ₦844 billion in the 2017 budget. Further financial injections in 2020 underscore the colossal scale of this infrastructure venture, with the potential to reshape Lagos’ economic landscape.

Spanning Horizons: 4MB’s Route revealed from Ajah to Ikorodu

Visualizing the expansive reach of the Fourth Mainland Bridge, the proposed 37-kilometer structure is set to span from Abraham Adesanya in Ajah, traversing the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe corridor, and reaching the Lagoon shoreline of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway via Owutu/Isawo in Ikorodu.

Green light for future development: 4MB unlocks new urban possibilities

Beyond its immediate impact on traffic congestion, the Fourth Mainland Bridge project is a strategic move by the Lagos State Government to open up new areas for future urban development. As the second-longest bridge in Africa, it’s a symbol of Lagos’ commitment to progress.
