We’re Constructing The ‘Longest Fly-Over Bridge’ In West Africa At N10bn – Kwankwaso

 

Kano State Governor, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, said on Tuesday that the state had embarked on the construction of its third fly-over bridge, which will be one of the longest bridges in the West African sub-region.
He was speaking at the ongoing Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Society of Engineers in Abuja where he received a Special Merit Award.

Kwankwaso said, “In the last two and a half years, we have initiated projects that have not only impacted on the lives of the people but should be of great interest to Nigerian engineers.
“For instance, two fly-overs are under construction in the city of Kano and work has reached an advanced stage.

“Only three weeks ago, the third fly-over contract was awarded at the Central Business Area of Kano at more than N10bn.
“It is one of the longest fly-over bridges in West African sub-region; this 1.76km flyover is expected to be completed within 14 months.”
He said the fly-over was constructed to ease traffic congestion around the Abubakar Rimi Market.
