Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour says that, if elected, he will cancel the Fourth Mainland Bridge project and introduce cable cars from Ikorodu across to Ajah instead, alongside 6km bridges. But Ikorodu currently has only one major outlet connecting it to other parts of Lagos, apart from travelling through the Lotto axis towards Berger. Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, on the other hand, says he will deliver the Fourth Mainland Bridge within his first term, as it is a major priority in his manifesto. The project is an expensive one, estimated at $2.5 billion, and will therefore be tolled to make it financially viable and bankable. For context, this is a 38-kilometre bridge project, designed with nine interchanges to connect several major corridors and communities across Lagos State: • Lagos Island/Lekki-Epe Axis: Starting from Abraham Adesanya in Ajah, passing through Lekki and Langbasa. • Lagos Lagoon Crossing: Spanning a 4.5-kilometre section across the Lagos Lagoon. • Ikorodu Axis: Traversing Baiyeku, the Igbogbo River Basin, Itamaga, Itoikin Road, the Ikorodu-Sagamu Road, and Owutu/Isawo in Ikorodu. • Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Axis: Connecting towards the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway around Ojodu Berger.
