The Federal Government says the Second Niger Bridge linking Anambra and Delta states will soon be open for public use.
The minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, disclosed this at a ministerial press briefing in Abuja, on Wednesday.
“I can confirm that the second Niger bridge itself is finished. People can walk through the bridge now unimpeded. What remains is the four-kilometre link road on the Asaba side.
“Right now, our dredger is in place, we have to rebuild the road by reclaiming sand, the recent surge of flood has slowed us down. On the Onitsha side, there is a 7kilometer road that links the bridge and the Onitsha-Owerri interchange”, he said.
