Just In: Lagos To Open Agege-Pen Cinema Bridge Friday

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will open the Agege-Pen Cinema Bridge to vehicular movement on Friday.

An official source has revealed that the much-awaited 1.7 kilometre-long bridge would be commissioned tomorrow, 5th March.

While inspecting the construction works at the bridge last December, Sanwo-Olu had said the bridge would be ready by February 2021.

When asked of the status of the bridge on Friday, the top government official said, “The governor will commission the bridge on Friday,” adding that the contractors were through with construction works”.

The overpass ascends from Oba Ogunji Road and drops at the Oke Koto axis of Agege. The bridge also opens to the old Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway through Abule Egba.
