Yesterday, the Lagos state government signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the 4th Mainland Bridge but the designs were yet to be released.
The design which was created by Kunle Adeyemi will serve as a progressive movement towards consolidating efforts to transforming Lagos to a better city.
The operation will be the insertion of a bypass; a bridge within the body of Lagos. In addition to this bridge, there will be a heart to support the bridge. This ‘new bridge and new heart’ in the body of Lagos will not be typical infrastructure; they will connect people in large numbers and improve their natural flow through a reorganization of vehicular, waterways, and pedestrian modes of transportation.
The Fourth Mainland Bridge in conjunction with existing road networks would establish a primary ring road around Lagos. This ring road will provide alternative traffic routes from Lekki to Ikorodu, Ikeja to Ajah, relieving the 3rd Mainland bridge of its overstretched capacity.
With this improved flow of people across Lagos, the city will be relieved of traffic congestion, will maximize its great opportunities and grow better.
Kunle Adeyemi, born and raised in Nigeria, is the architect behind this beautiful massive design, with a track record of conceiving and completing high profile, high quality projects internationally. He is the founder of NLÉ, currently developing a number of urban, research and architectural projects in Africa; one of which is Chicoco Radio Media Center; the amphibious building in Delta city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria.
