Lagos government demolish 'killer' pedestrian bridge at Ilasamaja

 
The Lagos State Government yesterday Sept 1st started demolishing the dilapidated pedestrian bridge at Sadiku Bus-stop in Ilasamaja area of Lagos, which was until yesterday still in use even though it was on the verge of collapse.

Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) said the demolition and re-building of the bridge will take four months and were seen around the area yesterday assisting pedestrians to cross the highway and also to ensure free flow of traffic.

Lagos State Government said that the demolition was to avoid preventable loss of life

  11. @ Linda, the bridge has been blocked since the first rumour of it collapsing. That's about 3weeks ago.. And thanks to the feature written by someone in Sahara reporters that wrote about it and then bbm users translating it and circulating "almost false gist... That made the govt see to it... Glad its been demolished.. Passed there today...

  13. I live in Ilasa and that bridge has been like that for over a year now. I am actually dissapointed that it took them so long to bring down that bridge. I agree that Fashola is working but i think over one year is very long time and anything could have happened...thank God sha

  27. i also reside at ilasa and dat bridge was really in a terrible state. i use d bridge everyday and it was shaking like craze. d bridge collapsed some time ago i think last year or so and what did your loving government do? they patched d broken side and left the other part, putting so many lives at risk. so what's d songs of praise all about? abegi jare. if they had repaired it fully d last time it fell, i woulda praised dem too but patching it? Haba dats gross and wicked. Anyways i thank God no life was lost on it though.
